Atiku said he will create an enabling environment for the players in the industry by providing proper funding model, training and capacity development, assuring that the funding would be liberalised and distributed through banks or agencies in order to make it easily accessible for players in the industry.

 

“This industry is a livewire for our economy. A sector that provides employment, especially for the youths, is not one to be toyed with. This sector can provide us huge revenue if well harnessed.

 

“The way forward is to increase funds for the arts and liberalise the process of acquiring that fund, if you give me the opportunity, I will do it because it is essential.

 

“I will reject direct CBN intervention and encourage the private sector to be part of this, the government cannot develop all the funds needed,” he said.
