Alhaji Mohammed said the country is interested in capacity building for festival managers with a view to changing its festivals from mere fun events to business.
He said Nigeria is particularly keen to revive such grand festivals as the Durbar and Argungun, which have not been held for some years, as well as to prevent such traditional games like ‘ayo’ from dying, because of their importance in teaching sportsmanship and promoting tolerance.
In his comments, Sir Ciaran expressed his delight at the partnership between the Ministry and the British Council.
He expressed the hope that the MoU will allow both parties to translate their intent into action
“The British Council is delighted to assist in any way we can” to take the partnership further, Sir Ciaran said.
