Hi Olaniyan,
if you don't have official identifiers, I do think the best option is to use the Q identifier in wikidata. It's the option we (Wikimedia Spain) have used in Wiki Loves Folk (in order to have an identifier for festivals, see for example https://gl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lista_de_festas_de_Interese_Tur%C3%ADstico_de_..., sorry, it's in Galician, but you can see the layout and the way of working) and we're planning to use the for monuments without an identifier. If no item exists yet in Wikidata, it's a good opportunity to create it and, once WLM has been run, to assign statements with the commons category and any found image.
In fact, my suggestion would be to create wikidata items and commons categories beforehand. Once the contest has been run, if empty categories remain, they can be removed. From WM-ES we can assist you, by using our bot (WikiLovesESBot).
Best regards

Great!!!
One of the questions that I need this platform to answer for us is in the area of ID for monument.
Where does the ID comes from, is it the WLM or from the originating country of the monuments.
Best Regards.

Glad to see participation from both Nigeria and Peru! I hope you'll feel welcome to ask any questions you have on this mailing list - we have a bunch of experienced organisers from a wide range of countries here, so many may have dealt with similar issues.
