 Ahead of the planned festival in February of 2022, Creative Industry Group hosts its patrons to a dinner to honor the and recognize some of the group's members for their contributions in the past three years since the group kicked off. It was also an avenue to create more awareness for the upcoming programme taxed seven days in Lagos festival. Justin Tobuco was there and now reports. These are veterans and some key players in the entertainment and creative industry. They have all come together on that is very cool atmosphere to whine and dine and appreciate each other. Within these three years we've been able to own our own estate called the Creative Industry Group estate at Iberjuleki where everyone within the creative space we all will live together in one estate. Within these three years we've been able to put up our own health insurance, life insurance, accidents and health insurance. The Creative Industry Niger is one of the very critical units in driving sustainable development that can stimulate innovation and diversification. The Creative Industry can actually be the biggest thing in Nigeria, the highest in commoner, the biggest contributor to GDP if you have the structure. There is little of those structure around the industry. The upcoming Fest of its kind festival is seen timely in restoring the hope of different talents known to the country. As a creative person then this is the time to celebrate you. You know, I never had this be done before, you know, what we've had before as a segregation of creative people in different space. But now we want everybody to come together in one space. It is an organization that is our political, that is not a pressure group, but more or less a business platform, a non-governmental organization put together by our able president, Ambassador Felix Duke, and supported by sub-office you could refer to as veterans in our different fields, to create a platform to governize those who we refer to as practitioners below the line. The main reason for the gathering is these. Awards are giving to deserving patrons for the IMS contribution to the creative industry. I hope you as one of our patrons, congratulations madam. They have all come together under this very cool atmosphere to whine and dine and appreciate each other.
