CLAP will be driven in synergy with the National Council for Arts and Culture (NCAC) innovation, creativity, and entrepreneurship project to ensure a unified approach to empowering Nigerian youth.

The programme will also leverage a hybrid management model to address local challenges and harness the unique cultural strengths of each region.

She stressed the importance of legislation and policy frameworks in CLAP’s success and announced that the ministry has initiated intellectual property policy work to protect the works of creatives across the country.

Also, data mapping will be central to CLAP’s strategy, with the Origins Initiative providing a comprehensive platform for collecting, storing, and analyzing data related to Nigeria’s cultural and creative industries.
