The minister made this known at the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting, presided over by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Monday, while briefing the council on the strategic activities of the ministry since its establishment in August 2023.

Musawa said that the achievement was made possible through the ministry’s tireless efforts and strategic collaborations at the national and international levels, in line with the 2003 UNESCO Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage.

“The UNESCO representative list of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity plays a crucial role in safeguarding and promoting cultural diversity worldwide. It helps in raising awareness about the significance of Intangible Cultural Heritage, encourages dialogue between communities, fosters respect for cultural expressions, and promotes sustainable development by preserving traditional knowledge and practices.

“The inclusion of these two Nigerian cultural elements on the representative list has transformed them into shared global heritage (products) with enhanced visibility. The 181 states; parties to the 2003 UNESCO Convention for Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage are predisposed to visiting Nigeria to enjoy these cultural expressions.

“The anticipated increase in tourism inflow into the country will result in global visibility, job creation, and wealth generation, thereby contributing to sustainable national growth and development, economic well-being, and pride in national cultural identity”.

The two key products from Nigeria were inscribed on the UNESCO representative list during the 18th session of the Inter-Governmental Committee for Safeguarding of Intangible Cultural Heritage in Kasane Botswana from 4th to 9th December 2023.

The Sango Festival and Midwifery traditions have now been recognized as integral parts of human cultural heritage, joining five previous Nigerian inscriptions: Ifa Divination System (2008), Oral Heritage of Gelede (2008), Ijele Masquerade (2009), Argungu International Fishing and Cultural Festival (2016), and Kwagh-hir Theatrical Performance (2019).

This milestone not only promotes cultural diversity and community cohesion but also contributes to sustainable development, job creation, and wealth generation through increased tourism. It aligns with the renewed hope agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration, which prioritizes the appreciation and preservation of Nigeria’s rich cultural heritage.
