September 17, (THEWILL) – The Director General of the National Council for Arts and Culture (NCAC), Otunba Olusegun Runsewe, has said that a plan is underway to replicate the Abuja Arts and Crafts Village in each of the 36 states of the federation to tackle unemployment and boost the nation’s economy.
He said each village would generate funds for the state and serve as an avenue for the promotion of the cultures of the various tribes in the state. According to him, arts and culture is a sector that has the capacity to save the economy.
Runsewe noted that in countries such as the United Arab Emirates, there are very attractive culture spots where the art, crafts and cultural items are always on display.
