I think this is a very wonderful opening for Nairalander especially the mods and the founder to further brainstorm on issues affecting the creative industry in Nigeria. This is given the role platforms like this is not playing in the promotion and dissemination of information and propagation of the works of the creative industry. Members to act as it affects them and take note! |
