“But the important thing to note is that an asset of this nature going down, posterity will not forgive us and generation unborn will not forgive us.” Nigeria
The Central Bank of Nigeria and the nation’s banking industry, under the aegis of Bankers Committee, yesterday, formerly declared their commitment to reviving the moribund National Arts Theatre, Lagos, using their funds.
The CBN Governor, Godwin Emefiele expressed hope that if the facility is developed, it would will be 10 times better than the kind of convention centers seen in many parts of the world and would attract international attention. “We will build a hub around this arts edifice to accommodate them so that they can develop their God-given gift. I can imagine what this place will look like in another two years. Every weekend if there will be something happening here, it will boost the tourism potential of Lagos State and Nigeria.
“But the important thing to note is that an asset of this nature going down, posterity will not forgive us and generation unborn will not forgive us. That is the reason we are here today,” he said.
