About
The Nigerian Building and Road Research Institute (NBRRI) is a Government of Nigeria institute responsible for researching and developing road and building materials for the Nigerian building industry. It operates under the Federal Ministry of Innovation, Science and Technology of Nigeria.
History
The institute replaced the West African Building Research Institute, which was established in 1952 by building professionals from Ghana and Nigeria in Accra, Ghana. When Nigeria gained independence from Britain, the Nigerian members left to form the Nigerian Building and Road Research Institute in 1978, while the Ghanaian members formed the Building Research Institute of the Ghana Academy of Arts and Sciences. In 2024, Prof. Samson Duna was reappointed as Director General of NBRRI, having first been appointed in 2020.
