Therefore, this study was carried out to evaluate the hypothesis that the iconic buildings in Nigeria does not represent the culture and architecture of the sited locality. A total of 480 copies of questionnaire returned was used to examine twelve selected iconic buildings in two prolific cities of Lagos and Abuja in Nigeria.

Descriptive statistics and inferential statistics were used to establish the relationship between participant neighbourhood and socio-cultural characteristic and the selected iconic buildings.
