Ayans

Ayans are traditional term for thatched houses or small, simple dwellings commonly found in rural areas of Nigeria, especially among certain ethnic groups. They are usually constructed using locally available materials like bamboo, mud, or palm leaves, making them affordable and environmentally friendly. Ayans serve as homes and community gathering spaces, reflecting local architectural styles and cultural practices. They are valued for their practicality, natural cooling, and connection to the environment, providing a cost-effective and sustainable living option for many rural populations.
