OUR PEOPLE

THE ORGANISATION

Open House Lagos was founded by four professionals under the auspices of the British Council Nigeria. As the first event of its kind in Nigeria and Africa, the inaugural Open House Lagos in 2006 and 2007 were delivered with the support of the British Council Nigeria.

Open House Lagos became an independent entity in 2007 as an incorporated, not-for-profit organization. Open House Lagos is a self-sustaining, built environment focused public education organization.
