In a bid to improve Nigeria’s creative sector and generate employment opportunities, the Minister of Art, Culture, and Creative Economy, Hannatu Musawa, has outlined a roadmap aimed at enabling growth and international collaboration. 

This initiative was formally introduced on September 2, 2024, during a gathering of the diplomatic community and international development partners at the United Nations House in Abuja.

The event highlighted the prospects within Nigeria’s creative industries, which encompass a wide variety of sectors including arts, culture, and various creative enterprises. 

The Minister noted the importance of this roadmap as a tool for both economic growth and also cultural preservation as well as skill development within the country.

Musawa’s vision for Nigeria’s creative sector includes an aggressive target to create two million jobs by 2027, as she previously indicated in discussions with the Nigerian Economic Summit Group earlier this year. 

This goal is underpinned by plans to introduce a financing framework that will provide the necessary support for the sector’s expansion. 

The roadmap also includes “The 8 Point Plan,” which has been in development since 2023, and is designed to drive innovation, sustainability, and collaboration within the industry.

In her address, Musawa called upon artists, stakeholders, and international partners to unite in realising the vision of positioning Nigeria as the leading creative hub in Africa. 

She highlighted the sector’s capacity to contribute greatly to the nation’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and its role in driving economic empowerment, particularly among the youth.

Support for the initiative has been reiterated by international organisations, with UNESCO’s Head of Office in Nigeria, Abdourahamane Diallo, commending the roadmap’s alignment with global standards for the promotion of cultural diversity. 

Diallo assured continued support from UNESCO in facilitating an environment that enables and protects cultural expressions, which include a broad range of creative outputs from film to fashion.

Nigeria’s creative sector, particularly in music and film, has seen commendable growth in recent years. Musicians in the country have achieved global recognition, and Nollywood, Nigeria’s film industry, stands as one of the most prolific in the world. 

This growth is especially driven by the country’s youthful and diverse population, which provides a rich pool of talent and cultural narratives.

The roadmap presented by Musawa aims to build on these successes by creating an enabling environment that supports sustainable development and job creation, ensuring that Nigeria’s cultural heritage and creative industries can continue to thrive on both a national and global stage.
