On behalf of the team at Oxford African Studies centre and the @oxmartinschool we'd like to express our thanks to Nigeria's Federal Minister of Transportation @ChibuikeAmaechi for personally attending the presentation of our collaborative work on Nigeria's railway heritage

held online last week, and for his personal encouragement for the documentation and preservation of that heritage within the redevelopment of Nigeria's rail infrastructure. Project partners @Legacy1995NG did a fantastic job of presenting their fieldwork and

we look forward to taking the collaboration to the next level, with much appreciated support from @Oxford_Heritage and encouragement from UK Deputy High Commissioner @benllewellynjo1 Some picture highlights from the research to follow, full exhibition at: https://www.torch.ox.ac.uk/article/nigerian-rail-heritage

If you want to know more or get involved with this fantastic industrial and transport heritage across Nigeria, remember that @Legacy1995NG is a membership-based & volunteer-led organisation so you can get in touch with me or them and find out how to be part of it where you live.
