We need to give the youths of this country a chance. That is why under our Creative Industry Financing Initiative we said, for those who want to do fashion, those who are into movie, information technology and entertainment industry.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe will build a hub around this art theatre, an edifice to accommodate them so that they can develop their God-given gifts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI can imagine what this place will look like in another two years. Every weekend if there will be something happening, it will boost the tourism potential of Lagos state and Nigeria,\u201d the CBN Governor added.<\/p>\n<p>The Lagos State Governor said, \u201cwhat we have come to ascertain for ourselves is to also appreciate the extent of the asset.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sanwo-Olu added: \u201cWhat we have come to see is for us to be able to give the go ahead, working with all other stakeholders and our development partners, which is led by the Governor of the CBN, who are putting investments together to be able to do a first-of-its type entertainment, fashion, music, technology, movies and an all-around creative hub.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On his part, Wigwe said the intervention was in line with the federal government\u2019s vision of lifting 100 million out of poverty. \u201cThe creative village that is being created, definitely, we would provide employment for at least a million Nigerians, who have skills in music, IT, movies, etc.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Governor, Mr. Godwin Emefiele, on Saturday reiterated the commitment of Bankers\u2019 Committee to transform the national theatre.
