Lai Mohammed has reminded Nigerians of Federal Government’s commitment to aiding the creative industry and praised the success recorded by the practitioners especially in boosting the country’s pedigree.
“This visit is unique in the sense that the government is actually telling the creative industry that it recognizes and applauds its success.
“When we talk about diversifying the economy it is not just about agriculture or solid minerals alone, it is about the creative industry and about the films, theatre and music.
“And these are areas where Nigeria has had clearly comparative advantage,’’ Mohammed said.
He ralso mentioned that the reception of the artistes was a backing from government that “the creative industry is the way out for the economy to come out of recession’’.
