Afrobeats Certified as Nigeria Fastest Growing Cultural Export Worth 2.7 Billion Dollars

A major report by the Nigeria Export Promotion Council has certified Afrobeats as Nigeria’s fastest-growing cultural export, generating $2.7 billion in foreign exchange earnings in the most recent fiscal year.

Nigerian music accounted for 8 percent of global music streaming in the past year, up from 1.2 percent five years ago.

Arts and Culture Minister Hannatu Musawa said the government would establish a dedicated creative economy fund to support music, film, fashion and digital content creators.

The report recommended the establishment of a Nigerian music rights organisation to ensure artists receive proper royalties from international platforms.
