Nigeria is attracting positive international attention as a country that promotes media freedom and freedom of expression, recognising the important roles information literacy and media education play in sustainable development.
President Muhammadu Buhari said his administration would continue to devote resources to the growth of the film, fashion, music, and ICT sector, which acknowledged increased in international appeal and acceptance.
His comment came as the country will be hosting the 2022 UNESCO Global Media, Information Literacy Week in Abuja, in October, the first Global Conference on Cultural Tourism and Creative Industry in Lagos, and the second Global Association of Literary Festivals Conference, Abeokuta, in November.
He pledged full support for three major international events, including the Global Conference on Cultural Tourism and Creative Industry, all scheduled to hold in Nigeria in October and November this year.
