The United States has expressed interest in expanding its economic relationship with Nigeria, with technology, trade, investment and the creative industry identified as important areas for deeper cooperation.
The renewed focus comes as Nigeria continues to position its technology and creative sectors as major drivers of economic growth.
Nigeria’s music, film and digital technology industries have increasingly attracted international attention and investment.
A recent US-supported workshop in Lagos also brought together professionals from Nigeria’s music industry to discuss intellectual property and ways of unlocking greater commercial value from creative works.
Stronger intellectual property protection is seen as important for attracting investment and ensuring that Nigerian creators benefit from the economic value generated by their work.
The proposed cooperation could create new opportunities for Nigerian entrepreneurs, technology companies and creative professionals.
