creative industry intervention by otunba segun Runsewe, has attracted
commendation from stakeholders in the industry.

Committees are drawn from Culture and Tourism, the industry media, Hollywood,
Writers, travel professionals, Tourist boat operators, hotels, resort owners,
artists, ICT, fashion designers and many others.
Unveiling
the sub Committees in a brief ceremony in Abuja, Otunba Runsewe stated that
time has come for the industry to build bridges and work together for the
speedy growth of the sector and to benefit of Nigerian people.
He commended
the minister for the selfless and committed service to the industry and for
helping to reposition the industry by putting together the framework to address
the immediate and future impact of covid 19 on the industry.
He noted
that the creative sector is very broad and massive in content and context hence
the need to approach the implementation of post covid 19 interventions with all
hands on deck inorder to avoid rancour and devisive sentiments which
could jopardise the progressive intentions of the federal government and stall
efforts to build a formidable and competitive industry.
Speaking on
the Runsewe initiative, President, National Association of Nigeria Travel
Agencies ( nanta), Mrs Susan Akporiare shared the in the vision behind the
setting up the 13 sub Committees, adding that it's only Runsewe that has proven
over the years to give answers to the many challenges confronting
the industry in Nigeria.
"Am
more than excited and must commend the minister for appointing a workaholic and
an achiever in Runsewe to implement the post covid 19 interventions. He is the
right man for this job and the unveiling of the sub Committees revealed
the strategic agenda to keep the industry United and vibrant post
covid." Nanta president explained.
To John
likita Best, a Frontline industry player and Trustee of Association of Tourism
Practitioners of Nigeria ( ATPN), Runsewe has by the effort shown he is game
changer and grassroot industry administrator with enduring mobilization
abilities and eyes to see tomorrow.
"We
know he will bring about the needed changes and as he has done in the past,
this dream to carry every body and all shades of opinion along is a Master
stroke. We know him and will support this process to succeed" Mr Best added.
Culture
media influencer and Arts editor of the Nation newspapers, Mr ozolua uhakheme
disclosed that the effort is a strategy out of the box and an indication that
Runsewe has a grounded understanding of the fragile and sensitive nature of the
industry which has struggled to make socioeconomic impact in the trajectory of
