The Federal Ministry of Art, Culture, Tourism, and the Creative Economy is partnering with The Creative Park to develop the Abuja Creative City.
The Federal Ministry of Art, Culture, Tourism, and the Creative Economy is partnering with The Creative Park to develop the Abuja Creative City (ACC), a visionary project that, as a result, is set to position Nigeria as Africa’s leading hub for innovation, media, culture, and entertainment.
Furthermore, leveraging the existing foundation and expertise of The Creative Park, this partnership aligns with President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, thereby promoting a fully diversified, private sector-driven economy for sustainable growth and development.
The Creative Park is built on the belief that, above all, African creativity should be industrialized, profitable, and globally competitive.
Moreover, it aims to create a structured system that reduces unemployment, drives economic growth, and strengthens Nigeria’s global creative presence.
To achieve this, the initiative provides a clear pathway for creatives, taking them from learning to scaling and exporting.
In addition, it focuses on financial sustainability by ensuring that creatives transition from skill acquisition to industry-level production.
Notably, key infrastructure developments include a Residency Hub and a Creative Lodge, offering spaces dedicated to artistic development and professional networking.
The Creative Park prioritizes environmental responsibility, consistently integrating sustainable practices across spaces, interactions, production, and cultural preservation efforts.
As a result, by adopting eco-conscious strategies, the initiative ensures that creative development aligns with global sustainability standards.
The initiative is designed to establish high-functioning residency programs, research labs, creative studios, and production hubs.
Simultaneously, a free trade zone for creative products is in development, providing Nigerian creatives with greater access to global markets.
Consequently, the structured system ensures a seamless pipeline from creative training to business growth and industrialisation, fostering long-term economic impact.
Strategic alliances with governments, corporate sponsors, and international cultural organisations will significantly enhance the credibility and expansion of the Abuja Creative City.
Furthermore, these partnerships will improve funding opportunities, increase scalability, and boost global visibility for Nigerian creatives.
Ultimately, by fostering international collaborations, the initiative reinforces Nigeria’s position as a leading force in the creative industry.
