The National Institute for Policy and Strategic Studies (NIPSS) has forged a partnership with the Federal Ministry of Art, Culture, Tourism and the Creative Economy (FMACTCE) to drive President Bola Tinubu’s agenda for Nigeria to attain a $1 trillion economy by 2030.
The partnership is the outcome of a meeting held between NIPSS and the ministry in Abuja on Tuesday, when the Director-General of the Institute, Prof. Ayo Omotayo, led a delegation on a courtesy visit to the Minister, Ms. Hanatu Musawa, to seek partnership on the forthcoming National Summit and Exhibition on the Orange Economy, being organised by the Institute.
“For the National Institute, we have bonded ourselves to the Agenda of Mr. President in which he wants Nigeria to reach a Trillion Dollar Economy by 2030. Back then in 2023, we looked at different sectors of our economy and we chose areas where evidence has shown that we can actually reach the Trillion Dollar Economy if we plan very well.
“So for the National Institute, this is the last of the sectors that we believe that we can find enough leverage and push to get Nigeria to the One Trillion Dollar Economy,’’ he said. ’’We decided to choose the ministry because all our lives revolve around what this ministry does. All our social activities revolve around arts and culture and other things.”
