This centre symbolizes not only the plurality of African culture but
unity in that plurality. It has the important task of not only
preserving African culture, but projecting It.
Everything
must therefore be done to support the centre so that it can continue
to fulfill this important role.
The
search for the African personality is an important aspect of the
development of our continent in today’s world.
That
personality cannot be isolated from our humanity.
Therefore,
the centre must never lose sight of this aspect of it’s existence.

It is unbelievable that such treasures of African and Black and
culture exist here. I hope that more Nigerians and indeed Africans
would be made aware of this. This should be our immediate goal. It
has been a rewarding visit.

This is a
wonderful collection showing the attainment of the Black race. It is
a symbol of hope and Africans should be made aware of the
contributions of our ancestors to our life and existence. We should
popularize the motives so that our technology, industry, education
etc. can be grounded in culture.

Culture is the symbol of a people’s life and ways.
This is the centre manifesting our culture and therefore
ourselves, what we are. It also therefore embodies what we can be.
We must therefore come here for Discovery or Re- Discovery
