The Hon. Minister of Art, Culture, Tourism and Creative Economy led a delegation to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia last week for a series of bilateral cultural engagements with the Saudi Ministry of Culture.
The visit included six site engagements across Diriyah and Riyadh, covering heritage, contemporary art, new media infrastructure, creative cluster development, and music industry frameworks.
The visit closed with a cooperation framework between FMACTCE and the Saudi Ministry of Culture. Over the next five days, we share what was seen and what was agreed.
Repost from our Luminary DG @saltofdworld 👏👏🎉Today, NIHOTOUR made history in Abuja.
From the induction of registered practitioners to the conferment of Fellowships, inauguration of the HTSSCN Governing Boards, and unveiling of the RIVAC National Registration Platform for personnel, professionals and operators in the hospitality, travel and tourism sector, one message stood clear:
Regulation, standards and professionalism are the foundation for scaling Nigeria’s tourism industry globally.
Under the Renewed Hope Agenda, we are building a stronger, structured and globally competitive tourism economy.
The future starts now.

The Hon. Minister of Art, Culture, Tourism and Creative Economy, Bar. Hannatu Musa Musawa, met with Dr. Jobson Oseodion Ewalefoh, Director-General of the Infrastructure Concession Regulatory Commission, to advance the Ministry’s infrastructure agenda for the creative and tourism sectors.
The Minister was accompanied by the Director-General of NCAC, Obi Asika, and ministry staff. The ICRC was represented by a cross-section of the Commission’s team.
Three areas were in focus: the infrastructure requirements of the creative and tourism sectors; the Ministry’s project pipeline under the Creative and Tourism Infrastructure Corporation (CTICo); and the concession processes and procedures required to bring projects to financial close.
Dr. Ewalefoh has established a dedicated task force to evaluate projects within the Ministry’s pipeline — across the creative and tourism sectors — assess the appropriate strategy for each, and guide the path toward financial close.
Infrastructure is not supplementary to the creative economy. It is foundational to it.

Repost from our amiable and capacity HM 💚@honhannatumusawa I had the pleasure of hosting students of the Executive MBA course and faculty from the Wharton University of Pennsylvania at the Wole Soyinka Centre for Culture and Arts, Lagos, Nigeria, alongside the General Manager of the Theatre @tola_akerele , the Board Chairman, and the Director General of the National Troupe @ganakaltum .
As part of their visit, we took them on a tour of the National Theatre and shared insights into the transformation currently taking place within Nigeria’s cultural and creative landscape through @fmactce_nigeria . We also had engaging conversations around the future of the industry, the policy direction shaping the sector, and the growing opportunities across culture, tourism, and the creative economy in Nigeria.
These conversations reaffirm the importance of the work being done to position Nigeria as a serious cultural and creative powerhouse, not only within Africa but on the global stage, where our stories, talent, and creative enterprise continue to influence industries across the globe.

In 2001, Nigerian mobile penetration was below 1%. Within five years, it crossed 25%. MTN had paid $285 million for a GSM license.
Glo had entered and forced per-second billing. The reason this happened: the Nigerian Communications Commission published the data. Visibility unlocked investment.
Paystack. Flutterwave. The CBN published payments data and investors could see the volume curves. Capital followed visibility. The parallel for Nigeria’s creative, cultural and tourism sectors is exact. Until the sector is mapped, capital cannot price it.
The Federal Ministry of Arts, Culture, Tourism and the Creative Economy has published the mapping. Two volumes.
Over 200 pages each. Sector-wide data, value chain insights, job creation potential, and investment opportunities. Starting this week, we share the insights. The full documents are available at: /news/news/fmactce-tourism-mapping-project
Strengthening cultural diplomacy, one strategic conversation at a time. 🇳🇬🤝🇯🇲✨
The Distinguished Honourable Minister, Barr. Hannatu Musa Musawa, advancing conversations around tourism cooperation, cultural exchange, and creative economy collaboration between Nigeria and Jamaica.

The Ministry of Art, Culture, Tourism and creative economy continues to empower young talents, promote creativity, and showcase Nigeria’s rich cultural identity to the world.
Kanye is proud to be a beneficiary of this process as his journey and artistic expression reflects the impact of a thriving creative economy and the importance it puts on giving every child a platform to shine.
Thank you for all that you do Hon Minister.
