Represented by his deputy, Dr Obafemi Hamzat, Sanwo revealed this in a statement at the ‘Google for Nigeria Cultural Night’ organized by Google Nigeria yesterday.
He praised the artistes and creative arts practitioners for doing all they can to develop the country.
His words, "All these creative guys need to earn more from their works because it is their work. So, we must prevent people from stealing their creativity.
“We need to work the copyright issue together. Let’s domesticate it in Lagos. The moment we do that, the rest of the nation will catch up."
"What we need to do is how do we open our minds as a people to the huge potential that is in the industry?
“This is a challenge for us as a government and a people, so that we can create an industry that is socially and economically bigger than Hollywood."
