FOYLE, A.R.I.B.A. Bartlett School of Architecture, University College, London PAGAN HUTS I Mud is the universal building material in Nigeria, and lnowhere is it used to better advantage than among the Pagan tribes of the Jos Plateau. The landscape here is impressive, consisting of rolling downland, while here and there the ground rises higher in great masses of rock like huge cairns, worn smooth at the top through centuries of erosion. Pagan villages are invariably cleverly placed to take the utmost advantage of these natural features.
