Musawa stated, “The creative economy is an economy of ideas, innovation, and invention in the digital age. Our aspiration is to elevate Nigerian industries, including art, culture, and creative sectors, to secure a spot among the top 20 globally in terms of GDP contribution, wealth creation, employment, and poverty reduction, aligned with the 2050 agenda.”

The minister elaborated on the plan’s objectives, including increasing the value of sectoral outputs by 50% through innovative strategies, technological integration, and enhanced market access in line with the 2021-2025 national development plan.

Preserving and sustaining Nigeria’s cultural heritage is also a core aspect of the plan.

Musawa affirmed, “Under the renewed hope agenda of the presidency, we will provide the tools needed to accelerate growth across all creative economy sectors. We will deliver job opportunities, foster foreign partnerships, and local collaborations that proudly showcase our rich national identity both locally and globally.”
