… Organises Children Heritage Tour 2021

The Lagos State Records & Archives Bureau (LASRAB) has reiterated its commitment to promote and preserve the rich heritage and cultural values of the people of Lagos State, through constant sensitisation and vivid exposure of the various historical artefacts, in its repository for public appreciation.

The Director-General, Mrs. Bilikiss Adebiyi-Abiola, who disclosed this recently in Ikeja said the Bureau, in pursuance of its mandate of record-keeping for development as well as Heritage and Tour Promotion, has organised the Children Heritage Tour 2021 event to encourage children of all ages visit the facility for an educational and historical view of Lagos State and Nigeria as a whole.

She said the aim of the tour was to catch the children young by educating them on the importance of Lagos historical and cultural heritage and how they can better appreciate it as children who are highly impressionable at a young age, adding that the event includes a tour of the LASRAB mini museum, a comprehensive documentary on the evolution of Lagos State, story-telling and souvenirs among others.

In her words: “The government is committed to ensuring that records of enduring value and historical artefacts are well preserved and maintained for the general public to make recourse and to serve as a veritable reference point. A people without a carefully preserved historical heritage will soon go into extinction, as there will be nothing for the future generation to make reference in order to establish their original identity.

“Also, it is our responsibility as an Agency of government to educate and sensitise the general public on the need to imbibe the culture of contributing to the rich heritage of the State, by donating records and artefacts of enduring value to its archives”, she added.

The Director-General further stated that the tour, which is in conformity with the present Administration’s T.H.E.M.E.S Agenda in the area of Tourism, is also in compliance with all COVID-19 guidelines towards ensuring the safety of all participants.
