The Federal Government (FG) has expressed its readiness to diversify Nigeria’s economy through the development of the creative industry.
Vice President, Kashim Shettima made this known in a statement he shared on his official X account on Sunday morning.
“President Bola Tinubu yesterday (Saturday) identified the creative economy as a cornerstone of his administration’s economic diversification agenda,” Shettima said.
“Tinubu has also reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to positioning Nigeria’s creative sector as a key driver of the country’s global influence.”
The president who was represented by his vice stated this during the launch of the 2024 Abuja International Carnival at the Eagle Square, Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja.
“We are not here just to celebrate a carnival but to reaffirm the essence of who we are as Nigerians, a people of culture, a people of art, a people of colour and a people of shared values,” Shettima said on behalf of Tinubu.
