Nigerian artist Dapo Oyebanjo, popularly known as D’banj, has urged the Federal government of Nigeria to design programmes that would boost the nation’s music industry.
He said this during his courtesy visit to the Minister of Tourism, Culture and National Orientation, Chief Edem Duke.
He said that the youth in the country were endowed with music potentials that should be harnessed.
According to him; ‘Nigeria’s entertainment industry needs support and I am committed to being a part of efforts toward achieving this.’
He also advise the government on the need to promote the country’s image in the international community through music and entertainment.
‘But we can achieve this through establishing a collaboration that will offer support for young and upcoming musicians who have the talents to showcase the country to the world,’ he said.
D’banj also described the entertainment industry as an employer of labour, adding that it was capable of keeping the youth economically engaged and out of social vices.
In his response, Minister of Tourism, Culture and National Orientation, Chief Edem Duke, called on musicians across the country and in the Diaspora to strive to be role models.
According to Duke, the Federal Government is determined to strengthening the nation’s entertainment industry with support from stars such as D’banj.
