Nigeria’s creative industry is worth $4.5billion — CBN Gov. Emefiele

The Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele, has said the creative industry is an important one in the country, with a revenue of about 4.5 billion dollars.

Speaking at an event in Dubai, on Friday, December 3, he thanked President Muhammadu Buhari for giving the bankers’ committee the opportunity of revamping the National Theatre.

Emefiele said that the project is costing the Bankers committee over 100 billion dollars, Vanguard reports.

“We do hope that with the development of four creative hubs — the film, fashion, music and IT — at the National Theatre, from next year we will begin to have fashion shows like we are having here there,” Emefiele added.
