The visit, led by the recently appointed Director-General of LASRAB, Mr. Amodu Razaak, served as both an act of traditional homage and a strategic outreach to ensure that the oral and physical histories of the Lagos indigenous institutions are professionally preserved.

The delegation was received by the elite Council of White Cap Chiefs, whose members were recently installed by the Oba of Lagos, HRM Oba Rilwan Akiolu.
