The French Ambassador to Nigeria, Denys Gauer, has officially
presented to the Minister of Information and Culture, Alh. Lai Mohammed,
the Nok Terracotta figurative sculpture that was intercepted in France
while in transit from Togo to the USA.
The Nok culture appeared in Nigeria around 1000 B.C. and later
