Under my Ministry they talk about culture. Culture is our identity. We come from a nation that has diverse culture with over 250 languages. This iS something we need to tap into, something we need to be proud of and we need the ministry to unite the nation.''

The Minister stressed that she will enact an action plan that will be satisfactory and acceptable to all Nigerians in line with the mandate of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

Mrs Musawa said her ministry will welcome any robust collaboration with other sister ministry to make the country greater.

On her part, the Minister of Tourism, Lola Ade-John said after amassing enormous wealth of experience in the banking sector, she would make the country's tourism sector the mainstay of the nation's economy.

Mrs Ade-John appealed to the Chief Executives Officers under her Ministry to support her to make the sector a pride of the nation.
