Hon. Musawa to Unveil Strategic Roadmap at Culture and Creative Economy Summit in Abuja
Abuja, Nigeria
Barrister Hannatu Musa Musawa, the Minister of Arts, Culture, and the Creative Economy is set to unveil the Ministry’s roadmap during the Culture, and Creative Economy Summit on Monday at Ajuji Greenwich Hotel, Abuja, Nigeria.
The National Council for Arts and Culture (NCAC) headed by Obi Asika is spearheading this crucial gathering under the supervision of the ministry in collaboration with the Nigerian Economic Summit Group aiming to advance Nigeria’s cultural and creative economy sector.
The two-day summit will be highlighted by the unveiling of the Minister’s strategic roadmap, which is anticipated to be adopted by subnational governments across the country.
Minister Musawa is expected to introduce transformative initiatives designed to foster peace, unity, integrity, creativity, entrepreneurship, and national connectivity. These initiatives are intricately aligned with the broader objectives of NAFEST and other key national cultural celebrations, setting the stage for a cultural renaissance in Nigeria.
A pivotal aspect of the summit will be the deliberation and formal adoption of the structure and syllabus for major national cultural events, including the National Festival for Arts and Culture (NAFEST) and the International Arts and Crafts Expo (INAC). These discussions are vital for the successful planning and execution of significant programs such as MEFA, Nigeria’s Got Talent (NGT), Innovation Creativity and Entrepreneurship (ICE), Origins, and the Creative Leap Accelerated Programme (CLAP).
Key stakeholders, including Commissioners and Directors from the 36 State Councils for Arts, Culture, and Creative Economy, the FCT Council, Sister Parastatals, and the media, have been formally invited to partake in this landmark event.
The summit will also feature presentations from other agencies, showcasing their strategic roadmaps and exploring innovative methods to unlock financial resources for the sector through multilateral partnerships and funding initiatives.
The Minister has also released an 8-point agenda also geared towards Nigeria’s creative economy through public-private partnerships and strategic investments.
