 For entertainment, the federal government has called on all stakeholders to join its efforts in the repatriation of looted Nigerian artifacts. Information and culture minister Lai Mohamed said this during a meeting with the German government and the Edo state government on Wednesday. He added that the government launched a campaign in October 2019 for the return of looted artifacts and rather it was beginning to yield results. According to him, there is a bilateral deal with Germany to return the Benin bronzes that were looted in a British invasion of the Royal Palace of Benin in 1897. For us in Edo state, we don't take our culture and heritage lightly and we as a government have committed to supporting the process to its fullest and to make sure that when these works are finally eventually returned, they find a safe, secure place to be displayed in Edo. All nations, all countries that have our works should now take the cue from what the Germans have done. And we want to emphasize that the time has come to reinvent the museum as a realization of networks and energies. And these objects, which in the words of Amadou Mahdambarou, the former DG of the UNESCO, have put down new rooms everywhere they have been, know they have a role to play in building bridges and thus enforcing the new kind of a museum network for the 21st century.
