The Ministry of Arts, Culture and Creative Economy has highlighted four key components driving its 2-million job projection in the creative industry.
The 2-million job target is being facilitated with partnerships of the private sector with several Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed to effectively drive this job component.
The minister, Hannatu Musawa, in an interview with our correspondent said, “These 2 million job deliverables will be delivered through strategic investments, partnerships and fiscal incentives.”
She disclosed that the job strategy will also explore synergies with the Nigerian commitment under the African Continental Free Trade Area Agreement-(AfCTA) and broader economic expansion.
