Perspectives
Writing this article was a great pleasure as my mentor with whom I have a long standing relationship as a senior colleague co-authored the article. I do hope this article would provide information on preservation of indigenous knowledge in Nigeria to people and also for people to appreciate the efforts of Goge Africa in preserving indigenous knowledge innovatively through mass media technology.
