According to him, there is “extensive” tourism potential in art which can contribute significantly to improved revenue generation for the country.
“Art will give this nation something to be proud of. It will give this nation something to showcase, which in fact means that we contributed to civilisation, that we had history before we were colonised. It is completely better than ransom taking.”“I started out of love, interest for art. I had a latent talent in art. As I moved from interest, I went into passion. In that passion, I began to read about Nigerian art,” he said.
“I am best when I am within my art works. My best friends are artists because we share the same values of life. We look at life from a very expansive point of view.
