Federal Government Urged to Boost Creative Industry Through Classical Music Education

The Federal Government is being urged to support the creative industry by promoting classical music education in schools to enhance the country's artistic sector. Organizers of the annual classical music performance night in Abuja emphasized the importance of classical music in Nigerian and African culture.

They highlighted the need for grassroots awareness and inclusion of classical music in the school curriculum. The organizers believe that classical music should not be limited to elite circles but should be accessible to all Nigerians, alongside indigenous music forms like Afrobeat.

The call is for the government to play a role in introducing classical music into schools and promoting it nationwide to enrich the country's musical landscape.
