FEDERAL Government has commended Heritage Bank Limited for its commitment to the development and growth of the creative industry.
The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed gave the commendation at a two-day Creative Nigeria Summit held in Lagos recently with the theme: Financing the Film, Television and Music Industries; which was co-sponsored by Heritage Bank.
He remarked that the conference which was jointly organized by the Federal Ministry of Information and Culture and the Think Tank Media and Advertising was to take the industry into a golden era with smooth access to short and long term financing, world class management and local and international distribution.
In a plenary session on Alternative Sources of Financing for the Creative industry, Mr. Dike Dimiri, Acting, Chief Risk Officer of Heritage Bank, articulated some issues that have continue to plague the entertainment industry over the years.
Dimiri said Heritage Bank was committed to the development and growth of the entertainment industry because one of the easiest ways to solve the unemployment issue in the country is to get as many people as possible involved in the entertainment industry, because manufacturing, banking and other sectors cannot do it alone.
