Lagos government will exploit tourism and entertainment – the wife of the government
The wife of the Governor of Lagos State, Dr. Ibijoke Sanwo-Olu, has called on residents of the state to harness the potential of the creative sector to provide more economic opportunities for the artists.
Sanwo-Olu made the call, according to a statement on Monday, during the 2022 edition of the Footprints of David Arts Festival organized by the Footprints of David Art Foundation in Bariga.
She said: "Following the recent Greater Lagos Art Exhibition organized in collaboration by the Office of the First Lady of Lagos State and the Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture for young artists to showcase their talents and learn from veterans through mentorship, it was instructive that this year's FODAF theme aimed to portray the values and potentials inherent in every Lagosian.
"It is gratifying that the festival brought together artists, market women's associations, traditional leaders and various organizations within and beyond Bariga, and also featured sports majors and the presentation of the award for the best drummer in the whole country to the drummer of FODAF.
"For us in Lagos, nothing will be spared in harnessing the full potential of the tourism and entertainment sector, especially the creative arts component, and opening up opportunities for artists."
