What We Do
Town Atlas Nigeria works with traditional institutions, historians, educators, and local communities to document, preserve, and present each town's history, governance, culture, geography, and economic life using a standardized and verifiable framework.
Document History
We work closely with communities to capture and preserve oral traditions, historical narratives, and cultural knowledge that risk being lost to time.
Verify Information
Every piece of content undergoes rigorous verification with traditional institutions and historians to ensure accuracy and cultural sensitivity.
Improve Visibility
By creating trusted digital archives, we enhance global visibility, strengthen community identity, and support tourism and investment opportunities.
Map Communities
We create detailed geographical and cultural maps that document quarters, landmarks, sacred sites, and the unique layout of each town.
Build Community
Our platform connects diaspora communities, town unions, and local residents, creating a living network that transcends geographical boundaries.
Preserve Legacy
We ensure that the stories, achievements, and cultural wealth of Nigerian towns are preserved for current and future generations to explore and celebrate.
Why Town Atlas Nigeria?
Deep Histories, Poor Representation
Nigerian towns have rich, complex histories that are poorly represented online. Most information available is superficial, incomplete, or inaccurate.
Fragmented Information
Information about towns is scattered across outdated sources, making it difficult for researchers, investors, and communities to access reliable data.
Vanishing Oral Traditions
Oral traditions and cultural knowledge held by elders are at risk of being lost permanently as custodians of history pass away without documentation.
No Trusted Reference
There is no single, trusted digital reference for most Nigerian towns. Town Atlas Nigeria exists to close this gap with verified, comprehensive information.
