Some stakeholders in the entertainment industry have called for the enactment of the proposed Creative Industries Development Bill, citing it as a tool that can transform the country’s creative economy.

According to them, the Bill seeks to enhance the industry through a well-designed action plan centered on funding, incentives, research, skills and training.

The stakeholder engagement series led by the CIDB team kicked off on March 4, 2023, with an engagement session at the Omenka Gallery in Lagos, hosted by Oliver Enwonwu. The event was attended by prominent stakeholders in the visual arts sector. The following day, the CIDB team met with leaders from the creative writing, performing arts, and theatre sectors. These included the Chairman of the Lagos branch of the Association of Nigerian Authors, Ifeanyi Avajah; the President of the National Association of Nigerian Theatre Arts Practitioners, Israel Eboh; and culture advocate, Jahman Anikulapo.
