DG Elodie Shami on why it is important to support youth in rural areas: “We operate from a philosophy that we get from Our Chairperson Her Excellency First Lady of Rwanda, which is about ‘Nurturing the Seed’, and seeds are not only planted in the cities, they re also planted in rural areas. It is important for us to make sure that we are providing them with tools they need, the encouragement they need, as well as the platforms and infrastructure they need, in order to thrive.” #YouthConnekt2024 #ImbutoEngages #ImbutoEmpowers

I had the honour of co-chairing and speaking at the Global Citizen NOW Summit in New York, where I joined world leaders and industry stakeholders to spotlight Nigeria’s bold vision for its creative industry. In my remarks, I spoke about President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, which prioritizes sustainable development through strategic partnerships and private sector collaboration. With growing support from investors and industry stakeholders, we’re working to position Nigeria’s creative economy to contribute 10% to our national GDP by 2030. It was also important for me to acknowledge how Nigerian creatives have grown this industry organically without heavy government intervention. Imagine what happens with the full implementation of the frame work and institutional structures we are currently implementing. As a case study, I shared our plans for Abuja Creative Citya transformative cultural and economic hub designed to empower creatives and attract global investment. Engagements like this are critical to showing the world that Nigeria is open for business, and that our creative, cultural, and tourism sectors are ready to lead.

Shuler: If you think about every industrial revolution we’ve been through, working people have helped us make that transition. It’s really because we’ve helped tame the technology and figured out how to use it in the most effective way. So I think your question about augmentation versus replacement is the big question we have. If we can all agree that this is about making our jobs better, safer, easier, and more productive, then we’re all in. But if you’re looking to de-skill, dehumanize, and replace workers, to put people out on the street with no path forward, then absolutely you’re going to have a revolution. So I think that’s something we all need to be very real about and think seriously about. If we’re going to have productivity gains, working people—the ones who make these industries happen—need to share in that. There hasn’t been a lot of discussion about that here. Of course, in terms of how we create policies, how we create tax infrastructure, whether or not we are redistributing—yes, that word is a dirty word around here—we need to talk about it and confront how we’re going to make sure working people share in the gains of these technologies. And if you look at the numbers of jobs, let’s talk about job quality. Yes, maybe there are a lot of jobs created, but what kind of jobs are we talking about? Are they jobs that can sustain a family? Is it a job where people can actually work one job? One job should be enough.

We are proud that we could bring down the costs of venues like JLN Stadium and create a supportive ecosystem for leaders to thrive. Delhi is not just a city,it is becoming the Creative Capital of India. We are committed to making sure that every venue stays booked and every creative idea finds its home here.

A very joyful meeting with the Minister of Art, Culture, Tourism and the Creative Economy of Nigeria, H.E. Ms. Hannatu Musa Musawa Hannatu Musa Musawa, and her delegation, including H.E. Amb Innocent Iwejuo, Chargé d'Affaires a.i., Permanent Mission of Nigeria to the UN and other IOs in Geneva; DG National Council for Arts and Culture, Mr. Obi Asika; Special Assistant to the President on Creativity, Mr. Prince Baba Agba; and the one and only LADIPOE. So proud of what Nigeria‘s creative industry is doing, including its significant contribution to economic growth, jobs, and incomes - particularly for our young people. We discussed the fact that segments of the creative industry are included in digitally delivered services trade, which, growing at 6% per year, is the fastest-growing segment of global trade. The key issue is how to support and enhance the industry so it can increase its footprint in this aspect of global trade. A lovely surprise to have LADIPOE do one of his numbers, click on the video to see the performance.

Spoke at the #CIIAnnualBusinessSummit2025 today, where I highlighted the key measures adopted by GoAP to drive economic growth and sustainable development in the state. In addition to promoting Speed of Doing Business, boosting industries related to tourism, building crucial infrastructure, and implementing necessary educational reforms in the state, we are shaping an ecosystem where the youth can aspire to be job creators. We are building a future-ready state where we can stop the brain drain and nurture India's talent with unmatched opportunities to flourish. AP will be a $2.4 trillion economy by 2047. I invite industry leaders to participate in the Swarna Andhra Vision 2047 to encourage innovation and achieve inclusive growth. I welcome your support to bring investment to our State so we can continue creating wealth for the nation. Confederation of Indian Industry

#WATCH | Cyprus: On PM Modi's visit to Cyprus, Manish, High Commissioner of India to the Republic of Cyprus, says, "I am trying to push the economic agenda between the India-Cyprus Economic Corridor. We have a policy to become a ‘developed India’ by 2047, and they have ‘Vision 2035’, so there is a synergy there, so we have to see how we can use each other’s strengths and work together to achieve them. I think Cyprus’ advantage is that it can serve as a gateway to the European Union as well as the larger region around it. Cyprus also understands that it has to work with India and it is quite evident that they are reaching out to India to build better relations, to focus more on economic issues, because they know that India is the fastest growing economy in the world. And similarly, if you see, Cyprus is the fastest growing economy in the European Union and they have their own advantages.

I represented at the AFRIMA 2025 WORLD MEDIA CALENDAR UNVEILING & MUSIC CONFERENCE in Addis Ababa Ethiopia. And this what I have for my fellow creatives. Africa is a continent bursting with vibrant rhythms, soulful melodies, and unparalleled creativity. Our artists, producers, songwriter, and innovators are crafting sounds that resonate across borders yet, despite owning the art and the culture, we often find ourselves fighting for space in the global market. Why? Because we don’t fully own or control the platforms that showcase our music. We lack the infrastructure, the investment, and the unified voice needed to truly capitalize on our rich heritage. The biggest challenge isn’t just about competing it’s about collaboration. We need to shift our mindset from scarcity to abundance. Instead of fighting for limited space, we should be working together as Africans to build our own streaming platforms, protect our rights, and invest in our craft. When we own the channels, we own the narrative. When we tell our story, it’s authentic, powerful, and unmistakably African. Our originality and roots are our greatest assets. We must celebrate and preserve our unique arts, culture, and languages. Let’s encourage each other to stay true to our identity, because no one else can tell our story the way we must and know it. Our music is more than entertainment it’s a reflection of our history, resilience, and future. To the global audience Africa’s story is waiting to be heard, understood, and appreciated. It’s time we sell our narrative, showcase our talent, and let the world see Africa through our eyes. A special thank you to ALL AFRICA MUSIC AWARDS(AFRIMA) for providing a consistent platform where Africa comes together to celebrate our music, culture, and creativity. Your work inspires us all to keep pushing boundaries and to keep our roots alive. Let’s build an ecosystem that’s owned by us, for us. The world is ready for Africa’s voice. Are we ready to own it? ✊🏿🎤🌟 #AfricanMusic #MusicOwnership #CelebrateAfrica #AFRIMA #UnityInMusic #AfricanCreatives

"We do need to address the challenge of migration. When it is well managed and regulated, migration can help to drive economic growth and opportunity for all. However, we need to deal with illegal migration.

DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin: “If we're looking to grow our economy, we need more permanent solutions on [work visas for foreigners]… Because this narrative that it steals American jobs is true in some industries, it's not true for all industries… It is America. We want to take care of Americans first. It’s our economy, it’s our homeland, but there’s a way to utilize labor where we’re not having the participation rate we need to, and we can plug those holes.” To summarize, Mullin wants to allow foreigners to stay here more PERMANENTLY to STEAL American jobs as cheap labor. It’s happening in LITERALLY every SINGLE industry.

Kenya’s rich cultural diversity music, fashion, art, and storytelling remains largely untapped as an economic asset. The U.S. has turned its culture into a multibillion-dollar industry, shaping global narratives and driving financial growth from Hollywood to Hiphop, Super Bowl, NBA etc. To achieve true economic independence, Kenya must invest in intellectual property, creative infrastructure, and global collaborations. #Culture is not just identity it’s a powerful industry. With the right policies and support, we can build sustainable creative economies, reclaim our narrative, and strengthen our global influence.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang tells Joe Rogan that President Trump’s “drill, baby, drill” energy policy literally saved the AI industry. And countless jobs for Americans. HUANG: “If United States doesn’t grow, we will have no prosperity. We can’t invest in anything domestically or otherwise. We can’t fix any of our problems.” “If we don’t have energy growth, we can’t have industrial growth. If we don’t have industrial growth, we can have job growth. It’s as simple as that.” “And the fact that he came into office and the first thing that he said was ‘drill, baby, drill’, his point is we need energy growth.” “Without energy growth, we can have no industrial growth.” “And that was…it saved the AI industry.” “I got to tell you flat out, if not for his pro-growth energy policy, we would not be able to build factories for AI, we would not be able to build chip factories, we surely wouldn’t be able to build supercomputer factories.” “None of that stuff would be possible and without all of that, construction jobs will be challenged, electrician jobs, all of these jobs that are now flourishing would be challenged.” “And so I think he’s got it right. We need energy growth. We want to re-industrialize the United States.”

Resetting the Vision for West Africa’s Economic Future As we open the inaugural West Africa Economic Summit 2025 in Abuja, our goal is clear; to create a region that works for its people by fostering bold partnerships, enabling the private sector, and rethinking how trade, innovation and cooperation can transform our future. We already have the tools; shared markets, rich traditions of commerce, and untapped resources. What we need now is strategic alignment; infrastructure that connects us, policies that empower us, and investments that stay within our borders. This summit is not about lofty promises. It is about showing that West Africa can build a marketplace where governments, industries, and innovators meet to get things done, right here, on our soil. Not in foreign boardrooms, but in our own cities, from the Sahel to the sea. Let’s move from exporting raw potential to building value. Let’s turn historic trade routes into modern prosperity corridors. Let’s make West Africa a serious player in the global economy, not by outsourcing our destiny, but by owning it. #WAES2025 #WestAfricaRising #TradeBeyondBorders

"That's what Stephen Guilbault did to our province, and that's the reason why people are so frustrated and why they lost hope." "It costs jobs, it cost economic growth. It cost us our ability to generate revenues to pay for the things that we care about." Danielle Smith

In a step that reflects Dubai’s forward-looking cultural vision and its belief that creativity and innovation sit at the core of sustainable development, we have launched the Museum of Digital Art (MODA) - the region’s first museum dedicated to digital art and new technologies - in collaboration with the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC). The museum is an important addition to our cultural and creative ecosystem, serving as a global platform where culture meets technology and the creative economy, reshaping how art is produced, presented, and experienced in the digital age. In Dubai, we continue to build cultural institutions that keep pace with future transformations, expanding opportunities for artists, creators, and talent, guided by the conviction that culture is a key driver in shaping the economy of the future. MODA embodies the concept of future museums: living spaces for creativity, knowledge, and community interaction that go beyond the traditional role of preserving heritage, becoming bridges that connect ideas and generations across time and borders, and reinforcing Dubai’s position as a global hub for culture, innovation, and creativity.

We need to radically rewire our economy and getting taxes down is central to that mission. BUT we will only be able to achieve that if we have fiscal responsibility at the heart of everything we do. NEVER AGAIN will we sacrifice that. Labour are badly mismanaging our economy. Reform offer only fantasy economics. It falls to the Conservative Party to stand up for fiscal discipline and economic stability. The road ahead is tough but we are up for the challenge. We believe in our country and we will deliver the right choices based on serious, responsible leadership.

PRAYER IS POWERFUL, but God doesn't always say "yes" when we ask for what we think we need or want. Sometimes we need to work and earn whatever it is we want/need. Moral of the story: If we practice Christian principles (the principles on which this country was founded) - and learn to count our many blessings, we can find happiness. Most great things in life are created through prayer and perseverance and are not always easy, but one thing is sure - we can learn to be happy in whatever situation even when we are struggling but working to fix our problems. When there is life, there is hope.
