The Federal Government plans to establish “Renewed Hope Cultural Villages” in all 36 states, aiming to promote Nigeria’s cultural heritage and boost the creative economy.

Abiola Jagunlabi, Special Assistant to the Minister of Art, Culture, Tourism, and Creative Economy, announced that this initiative is part of the “Renewed Hope Cultural Project,” designed to preserve cultural traditions, enhance tourism, and drive economic development.

These cultural villages will be created in partnership with state governments, transforming historical sites into dynamic creative centers that foster economic growth and job creation in the arts and entertainment industries.

The project will focus on restoring and preserving historical sites, monuments, palaces, and artifacts, while also enhancing cultural education and building local craft capacity. Jagunlabi emphasized that the project’s success depends on collaboration between state governments, local communities, and stakeholders.

“By working together, Nigeria can unlock the transformative power of its arts, culture, tourism, and creative industries for sustainable development and social cohesion,” Jagunlabi stated.

He highlighted that the initiative, aligned with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, is expected to significantly impact the economy by generating thousands of jobs and revenue through tourism and creative enterprises.

Minister Hannatu Musawa is committed to driving Nigeria’s economy through innovative programs and policies, building collaborations to advance the creative sector and create job opportunities for youth.

Jagunlabi added that the National Economic Council (NEC) has approved the project, paving the way for the transformation of Nigeria’s creative sector.
