The Federal Government, through the Federal Ministry of Arts and Creative Economy, is set to launch the 54th Art and Culture Summit on Monday, 26 August 2024, according to a statement by Nneka Ikem, Special Adviser on Media to the Minister of Arts, Culture and Creative Economy, Hannatu Musawa.
Representatives from all 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory will be present as key policies are unveiled.
Musawa will introduce new initiatives and cultural elements vital for promoting peace, unity, integrity, creativity, entrepreneurship, and connectivity across the nation. These initiatives align with the broader goals of NAFEST and other national cultural celebrations, paving the way for Nigeria’s cultural revival.
Highlights of the summit will include deliberations and the adoption of the format and syllabus for major national cultural events, such as the National Festival for Arts and Culture and the International Arts and Crafts Expo.
These discussions will be crucial for the successful planning and execution of MEFA, Nigeria’s Got Talent, Innovation Creativity and Entrepreneurship, Origins, and the Creative Leap Accelerated Programme.
Key stakeholders, including Commissioners and Directors from the 36 States Councils for Arts, Culture, and Creative Economy/History and Culture Bureau, the FCT Council for Arts, Culture, and Creative Economy, related parastatals, and the media, have been formally invited to participate in this significant event.
