As part of measures to deepen regional collaboration and strengthen the creative and tourism industries across West Africa, the Lagos State Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture has hosted a high-level delegation from the Ghana Creative Arts Agency in the state.

In her address during the visit held at the ministry’s headquarters in Alausa, Ikeja, the Lagos State Commissioner for Tourism, Arts and Culture, Mrs. Toke Benson-Awoyinka, described the engagement as a strategic opportunity for knowledge exchange, institutional partnerships, and sustainable growth in the creative sector.

“Lagos does not compete. We create and collaborate. It is a pleasure to host our brothers and sisters from Ghana. This engagement is about synergy, shared learning, and laying a foundation for cross-border support systems that benefit creatives throughout the region,” the commissioner said.

Highlighting the state’s prominent role as a cultural and creative leader in Africa, Benson-Awoyinka reaffirmed the ministry’s dedication to developing a comprehensive, year-round calendar of tourism and cultural events.
