Nigeria advancing in theatre and stage performance – Lai Mohammed

The Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, has said that the Nigeria entertainment industry is advancing in the areas of theatre and stage performances.

The Minister stated this on Monday night in Lagos at the stage performances organised on the sideline of the ongoing two-day Summit on Creative Industry with the theme “Financing the Film, Television and Music Industries”, The Nation reports.

Mohammed urged stakeholders of the creative industry to understand that the industry extends to the theatre and other genres, not only film and music.

The minister also applauded the efforts put in a play titled, “Waka”, which he said had been successfully staged in London.

NAN reports that a presentation of “Saro, Land of Freedom”, a fusion of dance and music drama preceded the minister’s remarks.

The performance depicted the splendour, opportunities and freedom that abound in Lagos, including the bustling life and criminality side of the ever-bubbling city.

It also dramatised the effectiveness of the police to curb crimes in the city without leaving out the corrupt tendencies of the law enforcement body.

NAN also reports there were also performances of South African “Oza Oza” music and dance, clips from “Waka” play as well as “The Lion King – the story of a wicked uncle”.
