During a media briefing in Lagos, Musawa stated, “I am pleased to announce that our ministry is now at the implementation stage. We have laid the necessary foundations and are ready to roll out strategic initiatives that will significantly contribute to the industry’s growth.” She emphasized the ministry’s vision to build an integrated, data-driven, and investment-friendly ecosystem that unlocks the vast opportunities within the industry.
Musawa also revealed that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has mandated her to ensure industry players receive the necessary support to grow and thrive. To achieve this, the federal government is launching the D-30 Platform, a centralized database designed to provide forward-looking insights and guide investors.
The minister explained the platform’s key features, saying, “Its key features include infrastructure audit, a tool to guide public-private partnerships and targeted investments. Industry Forecasts: Providing data-driven insights to help industry players and investors make informed decisions.” She noted that the D-30 platform will bridge the gap in reliable data, ensuring clear, data-driven assumptions that incorporate planned investments, policy reforms, and infrastructure developments.
Musawa emphasized the ministry’s commitment to cultural and economic expansion, stating, “One of our core mandates is to have a cultural expansion- to make Nigeria the cultural and creative hub, not only of Africa, but of the world.” She highlighted the ministry’s collaboration with the Boston Consulting Group to contribute effectively to increasing the GDP, with a goal of expanding it by at least $100 billion by 2030.
