History

Professor Kenneth Onwuka Dike did a survey of Nigerian public records from 1951 to 1953. Based on what was found, he made a recommendation to have a public record office.^[3] This led to the founding of the Nigerian Record Office on April 1, 1954.^[3]^[4] In 1957, the Public Archives Ordinance No. 43 was enacted and became effective on November 14, 1957. It changed the name of the archives to become the National Archives of Nigeria.^[3]

The Federal Government provided 51,000 pounds to create the first permanent building in Ibadan in the First Economic Programme, 1955-60. This building officially opened on January 9, 1959.^[6]
