Eight Points Agenda
we have created a comprehensive eight-point plan that will deliver our collective vision for this sector.
Nigeria Destination 2030 is a manifesto, a mission and a vision to become Africa’s creative capital.
Most importantly,it’s a promise to deliver more jobs, more inbound visitors, and more local
opportunities that will enhance the development of all creative sectors
Skills development will be prioritised through comprehensive training programs to ensure all
professionals within the economy are well-prepared to excel in their respective fields.
Accelerated growth of the creative economy means we need to prioritise and
Fastrack the improvement, creation and implementation of policy frameworks that effectively
stimulate increased revenue generation, job creation, and sustainable growth across the entire
sector. A key part of that strategy is Intellectual Property Protection to safeguard the creations
of artists and content creators, fostering innovation and creativity.
Our team is developing a comprehensive and effective strategy for the arts, culture, and creative
economy. Within this strategy, we will clearly outline our objectives, targets, and actions for
sectoral growth and development.
Its implementation will be underpinned by a cohesive governance structure that will foster
collaboration among government agencies, private sector entities, academia, and artists to drive the
growth of the FMACC ecosystem.
We will further support this collaborative structure by establishing a Creative Economy Advisory
Council that will provide high-level strategic support to the Ministry.
I look forward to working closely with Ministry, departments, agencies and all other stakeholders to
deliver our vision.
As such, our fifth point sets out to facilitate the creation of Public-Private partnerships that
will stimulate investment in the creative economy and expedite the development of critical
infrastructure, technology, and innovation hubs.
In addition, it aims to leverage PPPs to catalyse private sector investment in FMACC, enhancing
economic diversification and creating a favourable business environment.
Among those targets is our ambition to elevate the Nigerian industries, comprising Art, Culture &
Creative industries to rank among the top 20 globally in terms of GDP contribution, wealth creation,
employment, and poverty reduction in line with the agenda 2050.
Through innovative strategies, technological integration, and enhanced market access, our target is
to increase the value of sectoral outputs by 50%. in line with the 2021 to 2025 national development
plan.
we will prioritise infrastructural development aided by Digital transformation . We will provide
modern facilities, transportation networks, and technology infrastructure. We will prioritise the
integration of arts, culture, and creative content onto digital platforms, harnessing technology to
create new revenue streams
Every effort will be made to facilitate the growth of a thriving business and support startups and
entrepreneurs by establishing innovative hubs and incubators.
By creating and supporting cultural centres of excellence, we will preserve and promote culture,
foster creativity and innovation, and further support those with the potential to contribute to the
sector’s growth.
We must make every effort to safeguard Nigeria’s rich cultural heritage while fostering tourism and
economic growth.
This involves implementing initiatives to preserve and celebrate our cultural heritage while
ensuring its longevity for future generations.
Within these initiatives, we will establish International Quality Assurance standards and monitoring
mechanisms to improve the quality of outputs within the Nigerian arts, culture, and creative
economy, thereby enhancing the value proposition of all our creative products and services.
IN THE CANVAS OF CULTURE
