December 23, (THEWILL) – Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has announced plans by the Ministry of Arts, Culture, Tourism, and Creative Economy to establish historic sites to be named Renewed Hope Creative Villages.
The governor explained that the initiative aims to create hubs for culture and tourism as part of the Tinubu administration’s agenda.
“The whole idea is for the ministry to collaborate with sub-national governments to identify these sites and historic locations and integrate them into the creative villages as one-stop shops. We’ve discussed the enormous opportunities within the creative industry, particularly leveraging our rural historic sites and monuments.
The presentation by the ministry aims to bring this vision to the forefront and encourage sub-nationals to identify locations that can become thriving cultural hubs. We recognise that this sector has the potential to create hundreds of thousands of jobs.”
