“The entertainment industry is the youth enclave. The president should invest in the youth which is the future and create financial support in the banking industry through grants, loan and interest rate reduction.

The federal government and the multi national company should support the music industry by patronizing them. The entertainment industry is the largest employer of labor that can create more jobs and business opportunities for the teaming youth. It will also enable the youth to be more creative and engaging in positive nation building hereby reducing vices and being creative as part of nation building.

The government should create better diplomatic policies to create cultural exchange between countries thereby expanding the entertainment industry and creating easy collaborations with their overseas counterpart.
