Stakeholders in the Nigerian creative economy have applauded President Bola Ahmed Tinubu over what they described as unprecedented reforms and right policy direction which has repositioned the sector as a major driver of national economic growth.
The stakeholders, under the auspices Concerned Creatives Artistes and Entertainers Initiative 4 Tinubu, gave the commendation at a press conference at the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) Secretariat Utako,on Thursday in Abuja.
The industry players, drawn from different background in the creative sector, expressed confidence that the Tinubu-led Federal Government has shown that it has what it takes to make the creative economy a viable alternative to oil, as the nation seeks to diversify its economic mainstay, and called for support for continuity in order to ensure that “ President Tinubu completes the good work he has started in the creative sector.”
Speaking at the event, Dr Emeka Rollas, MON, National President and Convener of the Initiative, said the group’s support was based on a careful assessment of steps the Tinubu administration has so far taken towards making the sector a job creation hub and a key pillar of national economic development.
