Sanwo-Olu Reveals Plans For Entertainment Industry

Babajide Sanwo-Olu, the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate in Lagos State has lifted the spirit of many in the entertainment industry as he has promised that his administration would be investing heavily in the sector.

Sanwo-Olu made this revelation recently and he added that;

“Entertainment and tourism industry are one of the key areas my government would focus on for job creation and economic growth. I will deploy innovation and modern technology to unlock the potential of entertainment and tourism. An investment in creative industry will have direct impact on the economy and discourage restiveness among the youth.”

“My government will build entertainment hubs across the state where young people can hone their skills and promote their talents. Sanwo-Olu also pointed out that his administration will introduce a funding opportunity that will mitigate the risk and marketing challenges for innovative solutions generated by tech start-ups, young people will be engaged to drive the tourism programmes of my administration.”

“We have started a conversation with experienced practitioners in entertainment industry, with an objective to jointly come up with a general entertainment hub where talented young people can hone their skills in theatre, music, dancing and acting. We are looking at how the private sector can partner with us to build an entertainment destination where every Lagosian would be proud of.”

“We are doing this to help the practitioners improve their creativity in film production, acting and entertainment generally. We hope this investment and effort would give our young people a new lease of life in terms of upgrading their skilling and turning their skills to something valuable.”
