The National Theatre of Nigeria opened its Creative Summit in Kano on Thursday, marking the first time the event has taken place outside Lagos.
The two-day programme brings the creative economy practitioners together for sessions on access to funding, financial literacy, and practical skills.
The summit is designed to widen access to the tools and opportunities the creative economy runs on, reaching practitioners beyond the cities where such resources are typically concentrated.
The agency said Kano was chosen as the opening city in recognition of its standing in Nigeria’s creative life.
The city is home to Kannywood, one of the country’s major film industries, and has a long tradition in the performing arts.
