Mr Muyiwa Akinyemi, the Deputy Managing Director, United Bank for Africa Plc, has advised the Federal Government to take advantage of the opportunities in the creative industry for sustainable export earnings.

Akinyemi gave the advice at the annual conference of the Finance Correspondents Association of Nigeria with the theme: “Boosting Domestic Capacity for Sustainable Export Earnings,” in Lagos.

He said that the country’s creative industry was the second biggest growing industry in the world spurred by the emerging digital trends in technology. “Historically, some of us grew up in Nigeria with the groundnut pyramids in Kano, cocoa house in Ibadan and a few other places like that, but over time, when we discovered the black gold, we abandoned those our primary commodities.
