During an interview with journalists at the recent miniature art exhibition titled, ‘small Is beautiful,’ Imo said the Federal Government and corporate bodies had not done enough to support the art industry to tap into the $13bn African art market. He noted that Nigeria was yet to tap into the African art market currently serving as a feeder of arts to its counterpart across the globe, but expressed hope that with the right support, Nigerian arts would rub shoulders with its peers in no distant time.
