The state’s commissioner for tourism, arts and culture stated this during a town hall meeting on Afropolis Lagos 2024 in the state.

Benson-Awoyinka, accompanied by Idris Aregbe, Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s special adviser on tourism, arts and culture, highlighted the administration’s substantial investments in the creative sector.
She emphasised the ministry’s dedication over the past few years to supporting and nurturing the industry.

“We have made significant investments in infrastructure, such as renovating key cultural sites and establishing new venues for arts and performances. These efforts ensure our artists have the platforms they need to thrive,” Benson-Awoyinka stated.
She described Afropolis 2024 as more than an event; it was a celebration of Lagos’s rich cultural heritage, creativity, and innovation.
“It is a platform where African creative people can come together to showcase their talents, exchange ideas, and collaborate on groundbreaking projects. This festival is a testament to the vibrant and dynamic spirit of our continent. Lagos, as the host city, is proud to be at the forefront of this cultural revolution,” she added.
The commissioner also noted that Lagos is renowned as the largest black cultural melting pot in the world, leading in various creative sectors such as music, fashion, gaming, tech, design, film, dance, AI, and research.
She emphasised that young talents from Lagos are making significant strides on the global stage, and events like Afropolis will provide them with the visibility and opportunities they deserve.
