The Sahara Centre is bound by a commitment to advancing the socio-cultural dimensions of sustainable development in Nigeria.
Welcome To The Sahara Centre
How We Do It
Evidence-Based Decision-Making
We promote evidence-based decision-making by conducting robust research activities, both internally and commissioned, to provide the insights required to address critical societal change issues.
Researcher Development
We provide researcher development support to build local quality research capabilities. These include researcher development workshops, training and seminars.
INDIGO is our green workspace concept that seeks to provide a hub developed specifically for researchers while also building a community that produces quality research in Nigeria. We are proud to be the first solar powered shared workspace in Nigeria.
Critical Thinking Development
We build the practical critical thinking capacity required for the economic and social survival of the society through our critical thinking workshops, Lantern.
Advocacy for Culture, Heritage and Tourism
We promote activities that contribute to cultural awareness, tourism and an appreciation of heritage in Nigeria.
