The Federal Government of Nigeria, has disclosed that the National Theatre in Iganmu, Lagos, which is under renovation, will now be known as Lagos Creative and Entertainment Center, upon completion.

According to reports, the Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, disclosed this in Madrid, Spain while signing an agreement on Nigeria’s hosting of the first Global Conference on Cultural Tourism and Creative Industry. Nigeria signed the bilateral agreement with the United Nations World Tourism Organisation (UNWTO) at the organization’s headquarters.

Mr. Mohammed noted that the global conference, which would hold from November 14 to 17, 2022, would be the first event to be staged at the newly refurbished edifice.

“Nigeria will be hosting the event at the National Theatre in Lagos, which is currently being renovated for $100 million under a partnership between the Federal Government of Nigeria and the Bankers’ Committee/Central Bank of Nigeria. It is the first such renovation of the iconic edifice in over four decades. In addition to the renovation, new hubs are being constructed, within the premises of the National Theatre, for fashion, information, technology, film, and music. With that, the National Theatre is now known as the Lagos Creative and Entertainment Centre”.

“In addition, the Lagos surface rail system, to serve the National Theatre will be commissioned ahead of the Global Conference,” Minister Lai Mohammed said.

Mr. Mohammed noted that the signing of the bilateral agreement signified Nigeria’s commitment to host the event. He, therefore, urged the contractors handling the reconstruction project to ensure its prompt delivery for the global event.

Minister and Stakeholders Inspect Theatre

The Minister mentioned that to ensure that the complex is ready for hosting in November, he recently undertook an inspection tour of ongoing work there with stakeholders. The stakeholders on the inspection tour, according to the Minister, were Lagos governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu; the Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria, Godwin Emefiele; and the Minister of Sports and Youth Development, Sunday Dare.

According to the Minister, there was every sign that the venue would be ready early enough to host the global conference.

The Nigeria Ambassador to Spain, Ademola Seriki, who revealed he is a member of the Board of Directors of the company handling the reconstruction project, emphasized that they would complete the edifice before the global event.

Mr. Seriki, who accompanied the Minister to the bilateral agreement signing ceremony, thanked the UNWTO for giving Nigeria the right to host the maiden global conference. He noted that the conference would bring a huge reputation to the country and maintain Nigeria’s lead in music, theatre, and other areas of entertainment in Africa.

Reports also confirm that Folorunsho Coker, Director-General, Nigeria Tourism Development Corporation, was part of the entourage of the Minister.

Nigeria established the National Theatre, an iconic centre for performing arts, to preserve, present, and promote arts and culture in the country. The government completed the construction of the monument in 1976 to prepare for the Festival of Arts and Culture hosted in 1977.
