The Federal Government has moved to strengthen its engagement with Nigeria’s creative industry as part of efforts to promote national security, public awareness and social cohesion, with the Ministry of Interior describing filmmakers, actors and other creatives as critical partners in shaping public perception and supporting national development.

Minister of Interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, made this known on Friday while receiving the President of the Actors Guild of Nigeria, Emeka Rollas, and members of his delegation during a courtesy visit to his office in Abuja.

The minister said collaboration between government institutions and the creative sector would enhance public enlightenment, strengthen advocacy efforts and help counter misinformation on key government programmes and policies.
