Nigeria Minister of information and culture, Lai Mohammed says
dressing masquerades could create a thousand jobs per week for Nigerian
men.
Speaking at the sectoral debate of the federal house
of representative in Abuja on Tuesday,
Mohammed said most states in
Nigeria have one festival or the other.
“Most states today have
more than one festival a year, but the packaging and lack of capacity
has not enabled them to make the most out of these festivals,” he said.
“There’s a particular masquerade in the south east, it takes 100 people to dress him, another 100 people to undress him.
“If
this masquerade is well-packaged, it can provide employment in one week
for more than 1000 young men. These are some of the untapped
potentials.”
