The Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, has called for the implementation of the various MoUs between Nigeria and Namibia, especially in the areas of culture and tourism, to ensure that they translate into economic benefits for the two countries.
The Minister made the call in Abuja on Thursday when he received the
Namibian High Commissioner to Nigeria, Humphrey Geiseb, on a
courtesy visit, a statement signed by Ministry spokesperson Segun
Adeyemi said.
He observed that the bilateral cooperation between the two nations,
which dates back to 1992 on the platform of the 1st Nigeria-Namibia
Joint Commission, expired without implementation, and expressed the
hope that the MoUs will be revived for implementation this time
around.
He promised to encourage a working relationship between Nollywood
and the Namibian Film Industry, against the background of the interest
expressed by a talented Namibian actress to feature in Nollywood
movies as a way of further honing her professional skills.
