Sukur Kingdom: The Sleeping Beauty (Popularizing Nigeria’s 1st UNESCO World Heritage Site)

The Sukur Kingdom, Nigeria's first UNESCO World Heritage Site, remains largely unknown despite its significant cultural and historical value. This study identifies the site as a potential key tourist attraction due to its unique terraced fields, ancient iron smelting technology, and rich cultural landscape. By analyzing challenges in its promotion, the research proposes strategies for popularizing the site while ensuring heritage preservation. The approach combines cultural, historical, and geographical analysis to highlight Sukur's global significance and address barriers to its recognition.
