The Minister called on the participants to embrace the opportunity to honour the collective passion for the growth of arts.
She encouraged her counterpart from the Ministry of Art, Culture and Creative Economy, Hannatu Musawa to put in place modalities that will sustain and outlive the current administration of President Bola Tinubu.

“In a world increasingly shaped by visual storytelling, your contributions are vital in bridging cultures and igniting conversations.”
“In line with the 2024 theme: “Digital Renaissance: Embracing the Future”, this year’s festival promises to spotlight diverse narratives that resonate with our shared humanity, reminding us of the power of film to challenge perceptions and spark change.”
“Therefore, let all of us embrace this opportunity to honour our collective passion for the arts, support one another, and celebrate the remarkable talent that each of you brings to the screen.”
“I also call on my colleague, the Honourable Minister of Art, Culture and the Creative Economy, to put in place modalities that will sustain and outlive the present administration of President Bola Tinubu”.
