In his address, Mark-Onyegbu, highlighted the interconnectedness of the general economic landscape with the creative economy, stressing the importance of addressing macroeconomic factors affecting the industry.

He drew attention to infrastructure deficits, low investment in movie theatres, and the impact of piracy on revenue streams. Mark-Onyegbu called for concerted efforts to address these challenges, urging policymakers to prioritize the creative economy and incentivize private sector investment.

He emphasized the need for innovative financing models and policy reforms to support the industry’s expansion into global markets. Mark-Onyegbu concluded by urging stakeholders to collaborate, innovate, and invest in the future of Nollywood.

Toke Benson-Awoyinka, Commissioner, Tourism, Arts and Culture, Lagos State commended the organisers for sustaining the engagement in the creative sectors and promoting digital transformation to accelerate the growth of the creative industry.


Adebukola Agbaminoja, Executive Secretary/CEO, Lagos State Film and Video Censors Board, who represented the Commissioner pledged that the state will continue to partner with The Nollywood Mandate in the area of innovation to drive policies.

He explained that the creative industry, with its demanding schedules and intense pressures, often exacts a toll on the physical and mental health of professionals making it incumbent upon creatives to cultivate habits of self-care, wellness, and preventative health measures to fortify resilience and thus be able to sustain creative endeavours.

According to him, “To reshape the future of the Nollywood industry, we must invest in the next generation of filmmakers, storytellers, and creative talents.

“Education and skill development programs, mentorship opportunities, and fostering a culture of creativity and entrepreneurship are essential for nurturing a sustainable and vibrant industry for years to come,” he added.

Jide Awe, CEO, Jidaw.com speaking during the fireside session insisted that
“By embracing digital technologies, Nollywood can unlock its full potential, attracting not only innovation but also investments that can significantly contribute to Nigeria’s GDP.
