The Federal government says it has set a target of $100 million contribution from the creative industry by 2030.
The Minister of Art, Culture and Creative Economy, Hannatu Musa Musawa disclosed this in her keynote speech at the ongoing inaugural management retreat of the ministry holding at the federal ministry of education in Abuja.
‘‘From the establishment of cultural institutions to the implementation of landmark Policies, Project and Programmes, our Ministry has been and will continue to be at the forefront of driving positive change and transformation. We have embraced innovation and adaptation, recognizing the dynamic nature of our Cultural Industries. We have celebrated our diversity and nurtured our talents, paving the way for vibrant and thriving Art, Culture and Creative Sectors.
Musawa stated that Art, Culture, and the Creative Economy Sectors have a crucial role to play in achieving these priorities and are critical drivers of economic growth and job creation, but also platforms for social cohesion, cultural exchange, and national identity. ‘‘As we deliberate during this Retreat, it is essential that we remain focused on our Ministerial Deliverables and Key Performance Indicators derived from the Performance Bond signed by myself and the Permanent Secretary with Mr. President. These deliverables and KPIs serve as our roadmap, guiding our efforts and measuring our progress. They provide us with a clear direction and ensure that we are accountable to ourselves, our Stakeholders and the Nigerian people.
Earlier, the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry, Mr. James Sule said the theme of the Retreat, “Driving Creativity and Innovation Towards Destination 2030” was apt, because creativity and innovative problem-solving go hand in hand as creative thinking provides the foundation upon which innovative solutions are built.
‘The ministry plays pivotal role in economic diversification, digitization, job creation. The creative industry is a foundation of opportunities and catalyst for societal transformation. It is a testament of ingenuity of our people to richness of our culture, and boundless imagination that defines our nation.
