The interview here is very revealing. Can one imagine any Nigerian cultural artefact that is worth only $500? And yet this is what a former curator at the Lagos Museum says was the amount put on an artefact lent to a foreign museum. Supposing the object got broken or was lost, Nigeria would, in all probability, not be able to claim more than the stated amount. I would not like to know what insurance is made for such loans of Nigerian artefacts to foreign museums.
If the British Museum is financing the training in preservation and conservation for Nigerian museum officials, it stands to reason to think that the Nigerian museum or the National Commission on Museums and Monuments would not be in a position to request the return of the looted/stolen artefacts.
The game could not be clearer!
