Veteran Nollywood actor and filmmaker, Bolaji Amusan aka Mr. Latin has praised President Tinubu for merging the Ministry of Tourism with the Ministry of Arts, Culture, and Creative Economy.
Mr. Latin, who is the National President of the Theatre Arts and Motion Pictures Practitioners Association of Nigeria (TAMPAN), said that combining these ministries will help reduce the cost of governance.
“Tourism, arts, culture, and entertainment are interconnected, so it doesn’t make sense to separate them,” he stated.
Continuing, the 58-year-old thespian said, “As actors, we often use hotels and visit tourism sites across the country, which means we operate within the tourism space. This decision is a step in the right direction.”
He also commended the president for converting the Ministry of Nigeria Delta Development to the Ministry of Regional Development to oversee the activities of all the Regional Development Commissions.
