Abstract
restoration of cultural heritage is a collective responsibility between constituted authority and the
general public who are the custodians of their cultural heritage. It was further discovered that
there is a complete negligence on the side of government in maintaining and preserving the relics
in the city. This, coupled with the encroachment of citizens on the remaining structures of the
relics, combined to aggregate the dilapidation and in some cases complete disappearance of the
relics. It was therefore recommended that government and the citizens should put hands together
to preserve and protect the relics and to utilize them to guide physical and economic growth and
promote tourism.
