At the historic National Theatre in Iganmu, Surulere, The Tony Elumelu Foundation, TEF, on Wednesday signed an MOU with the Federal Ministry of Information and Culture for the development of Nigeria’s creative industries.

The Minister, Lai Mohammed, and Tony Elumelu signed for their respective organizations.

The partnership will provide a framework for bringing creative industry stakeholders together with investors, financiers and business leaders to transform the creativity of industry entrepreneurs into a profitable sector capable of attracting international collaboration and contributing consistently to the national economy.

During the signing, the Minister said, “My Ministry recognises the urgent need to develop Nigeria’s creative industries and increase its contribution to the national economy. Nigeria currently has creative industries but no creative economy. This partnership will leverage the experience of the private sector to help the creative industries retain the commercial opportunity and the financial benefits.”

Minister of Information, Culture and Tourism , Alhaji Lai Mohammed and Chairman Heirs Holdings and Founder, The Tony Elumelu Foundation(TEF), Mr. Tony Elumelu, at the signing of Memorandum of Understanding between the Nigerian Ministry of Information, Culture and Tourism and the Tony Elumelu Foundation to develop a framework in support of the Nigerian creative industry, which was held at the National Arts Theater, Lagos on Tuesday

In April, the minister approached TEF with a challenge: “How can we work together to help transform the currently underdeveloped and unstructured creative industry ecosystem into an organized and profitable pool of creative industries that provide meaningful employment to thousands of Nigerians?”

The Foundation’s response is the framework which undergirds the MOU.

While speaking at the event, Chairman of Heirs Holdings and UBA Plc, Tony  Elumelu, said, “Without doubt, Nollywood is a global leader and our young musicians are emerging as international sensations with serious earning potential.  Nigerians are good at starting creative businesses, but they lack the capacity to scale, proper business management and the investment necessary to become self-sustaining. This partnership will provide the framework for building business capacity and attracting sustainable investment.”

Also speaking at the event, the CEO of the Foundation, Parminder Vir, expressed her optimism at the future of the creative industry in Nigeria. A seasoned filmmaker herself, Ms. Vir stated, “Nigeria has an abundance of creative excellence, talent and cultural IP in film, television, music, fashion, ICT, performing arts and this partnership is designed to support the growth of this sector for leading businesses, facilities, entrepreneurs and institutions engaged in the fast growing sector.”
