OUR STORY

Who We Are

The Building Construction and Skilled Artisans Association of Nigeria (BACSAAN) was established in 1999 as a unified voice for construction workers and skilled artisans across the country.

Originating from the National Union of Building and Construction Workers of Nigeria (NUBSWON), BACSAAN was formally registered in 2010 and has since grown into the largest association representing artisans in Nigeria's construction sector.

Our members include masons, carpenters, electricians, plumbers, iron benders, painters, and all skilled trades essential to building Nigeria's infrastructure and housing.
