Nollywood Actor and Special Adviser to Imo State Governor on Culture and Creative Arts, Hon. Bobby Uchechukwu, has said that culture and creative arts will boost revenue generation of the state if they are harnessed by government.
Reacting on his re-apportionment while having an audience with journalists in Owerri on Wednesday, Uchechukwu stated that culture and creative arts are huge industries with enormous potentials that cannot be equaled in terms of revenue generation.
He said Governor Hope Uzodimma understands the value of culture and creative arts hence he pushes Imo State to occupy a global space in the culture, creative arts and entertainment industry.
“Governor Hope Uzodimma knows and understands the importance of culture and creative arts on the global market hence he wants Imo State to occupy their space in the global space.
“If this sector is properly harnessed considering the blueprint that I have developed, our revenue generation and tourism traffic will be second to none. Imo has loads of cultural heritages to showcase to the world as an entertainment hub, while considering the welcoming nature of our Eastern Heartland”, he said.
Uchechukwu who hails from Amaigbo in Nwangele local government area of Imo State and coincidentally second son of a one time Director of Imo State Council of Arts and Culture, late Mrs. Charry Adannaya Onwu who served diligently between 1991 and 1997, pointed out that “there is so much to be done in this sector.
