U.S. Consul General Brandon Hudspeth joined partners to launch a new $125,000 U.S. Ambassador Fund for Cultural Preservation (AFCP) grant, awarded to the Center for Memories for the preservation of the Lejja Iron-Smelting Site in Enugu.

This project will combine digital documentation with physical conservation to safeguard Lejja’s remarkable legacy of ancient ingenuity and technological sophistication for future generations.

We extend our sincere appreciation to the @cfmemories; @Fmactce_Nigeria; @NCMMHQ; the Enugu State Government; ICOMOS-Nigeria; and the @si_africanart for their continued partnership on this important work.

#DidYouKnow? Over the past five years, the United States has further bolstered U.S.-Nigeria relations by committing $1.2 million USD to support the preservation of Nigerian cultural sites and museum collections while strengthening Nigeria’s cultural heritage management.
