Hannatu Musawa, Minister of Arts, Culture, and Creative Economy, praised Nigeria’s music industry for uniting the nation.
Mrs. Hannatu Musawa stated that the federal government will continue to use the music industry’s potential to strengthen national unity.
Mrs. Musawa stated that art, music, and fashion help to bridge Nigeria’s ethnic and religious barriers. She also stated that her ministry is striving to guarantee that the solidarity fostered by music and the arts is perpetuated beyond the entertainment industry.
The Minister of Arts stated this on Monday while speaking on Arise TV. She underlined that the country’s over 240 ethnic groups may be brought together via arts, music, and fashion for a better Nigeria.
Musawa said, “I think the unity aspect in this ecosystem or within this space is not a problem, because what you do find is the one thing that really unites us as a people is our arts.
“It’s our arts, it’s our music, it’s our fashion, it’s just our expression as a people. So for me, I do not find that divide when it comes to addressing people within this space, perhaps being the Minister of Art, Culture and Creative Economy, no matter where I go, because the issue of music, it resonates with people, no matter what community.
“Yeah, but after the music concert, they’ll come out of the music hall and then become themselves again. No, but you know, you were talking about how I deal with it as the unity aspect. What I find is wherever I go, I have that acceptability because I’m representing a part of Nigeria that resonates with Nigerians generally.
“So that part of the unity is not something that we have a problem with, and I want to leverage on that to see whether we can tap and cultivate this space to bring more understanding and unity for us as a people of 240 different diverse tribes and cultures, right, and languages, that part.”
