By Akinwole HappinessNigeria’s creative industry has the talent, but not yet the structure, investment or policy backbone to turn that talent into sustainable economic value, stakeholders said at the QEDNG Creative Powerhouse Summit on Tuesday. It must be about building a creative economy,” Ukachukwu said, listing infrastructure, capital, intellectual property protection, skills, distribution, technology and viable business models as the critical missing pieces. The publishing industry, she said, has long been treated as an extension of education rather than a core part of the creative economy. Babaeko, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Creative Officer of X3M Ideas, was more blunt. Across the panel, the message converged: Nigeria’s creative industry has already proven its potential, but talent alone will not build a globally competitive creative economy.
