Lai Mohammed, minister of information and culture, 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.”
