CBN Governor, Godwin Emefiele, yesterday, at the Creative Nigeria Summit, said while the positive measures already put in place to achieve the purpose were indeed comforting, that there was still a lot of work to do.
“Again, close to 60 per cent of our population are under the age of 35, indicating that we have a youthful population that will need to be engaged; and more importantly, our youth unemployment rate stands at close to 36 per cent. “We cannot afford to let the talents of our youthful population go to waste, as it would portend great dangers for the progress of our nation. Efforts must therefore be made to harness the innovative and creative energy of our youths, towards enabling them to create productive ventures that will support improved wealth and job creation in Nigeria,” he said.
Emefiele also explained that “The tremendous facelift would be reopening the touring potential the National Theater offered during the FESTAC 77 Arts and Culture. Following the deployment of the pilot scheme in Lagos, we intend to set up similar parks in Kano, Port Harcourt or Enugu. “When they are able to achieve this objective of creating a new music product, a high-quality movie, an IT software application, or a fashionable outfit, we will work to ensure that they are able to distribute their work on a large scale around the globe,” he said.
“Our CIFI initiative will also enable the development of distribution outlets such as cinemas and music platforms, which will help improve the reach of the content developed by our young entrepreneurs.
