– Nigerian minister of information and culture, Lai Mohammed received the artifact

France, on Wednesday, officially presented to Nigeria the Nok Terracotta that was repatriated after it was intercepted in France while in transit from Togo to the United States in 2008.

French Ambassador to Nigeria, Denys Gauer, officially presented the artifact, a Terracotta figurative sculpture, to the minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, at a ceremony to mark the 2016 International Museum Day in Abuja, Nigeria’s capital city, a statement from the minister to NAIJ.com said.

In his address, the minister thanked the French Government for demonstrating the will to fight illegal trafficking of cultural artifacts and urged other countries to emulate France.

“I will like to thank the French ambassador specially, for his country’s show of support in our fight against illicit trafficking of cultural goods and their untiring efforts at restitution and return of such items. I wish to recommend this ‘French model’ to other countries,” he said.

Mohammed re-emphasised the determination of this administration to elevate culture and tourism to the mainstream of the economy in its quest to diversify the economy, create wealth and generate employment.

Speaking to the theme of the 2016 International Museum Day, which is: ‘Museums And Cultural Landscapes’, he said the current administration places high premium on the development of the nation’s cultural sites and their utilization as veritable tourism products.

“We are positive that in our quest for the diversification of our economic base, this section will provide the needed instrument to actualize that goal,” The minister said.

In his remarks, the French ambassador said the presentation of the Nok Terracotta was in line with international law and within the framework of the 1970 UNESCO convention aimed at preventing the illicit import and export of ownership of cultural properties, which was ratified by both France and Nigeria.

He said the gesture was an illustration of the French policy to fight illegal trade in cultural goods.

Ambassador Gauer said the artifact was intercepted in France as it was being taken to the United States on October 22, 2008.

The Nok culture appeared in Nigeria around 1000BC and later vanished under unknown circumstances around 500AD. It is the earliest producer of life-sized Terracotta in sub-saharan Africa.

NAIJ.com had weeks ago reported the national summit on culture and tourism, an annual event organised to celebrate Nigeria’s rich cultural heritage.

The three-day event kicked-off on Wednesday, April 27 with a gala night which had in attendance top government officials and Nollywood actors and actresses.

The theme of these year’s celebration is repositioning culture and tourism in a diversified economy.
