It is not farfetched that despite various cultural heritages around, not all are well sustained.  In view of this, the focus of this study was on preservation and promotion of Nigeria’s cultural heritage as examined through the selected case study. The objectives were to identify cultural heritage, examine the importance of cultural heritage, investigate the role of government in preserving and promoting cultural heritage and recommend the formation and implementation of policies that encourage the sustainability of Nigeria’s cultural heritage. The primary data were obtained via the use of structured questionnaire administered on the selected respondents. Simple random sampling was applied in the selection of the respondents, using the Yaro Yamen formular. The formulated hypotheses were tested using analysis of variance (ANOVA) and non-parametric chi-square. From the tests conducted, the results showed that the importance of cultural heritage cannot be overestimated and the government has the role of preserving and promoting cultural heritage. It was concluded based on the results that government has a major role in preserving cultural heritage. Hence, government should formulate and implement policies that that would encourage the sustainability of Nigeria’s cultural heritage.
