The Federal Ministry of Art, Culture, Tourism, and the Creative Economy has published the Creative Economy Data Mapping Report, a landmark study that provides a comprehensive overview of opportunities across Nigeria’s creative economy value chain.
The report was unveiled at the Creative Industries Economic Coordination and Investment Summit organized by the British Council in Lagos on Thursday as part of activities to mark the 2025 Creative Economy Week. This was contained in a statement signed by Nneka Ikem-Anibeze, Ph.D, SA Media and Publicity, FMACCE.
The data mapping report highlights opportunities and areas for investment in film, music, fashion, design, digital content, tourism, and cultural infrastructure. It also identifies areas where financing, infrastructure, and investment are most urgently required while spotlighting priority sectors with the potential to become powerful engines of economic expansion.
This marks a crucial step towards achieving the Ministry’s goal of creating two million creative economy jobs by 2030 under the Renewed Hope Agenda and serves as a roadmap for private sector actors, investors, and government agencies to navigate opportunities and drive growth in the creative and cultural sectors.
The report will serve as a practical tool for private sector actors, investors, and government agencies to navigate opportunities and drive growth in the creative and cultural sectors, providing a data-driven approach to inform decision-making.
