Section 21

Directive on Nigerian cultures

The state should protect, preserve, and promote Nigerian cultures that support dignity and national objectives.

Verbatim constitutional text

The State shall - (a) protect, preserve and promote the Nigerian cultures which enhance human dignity and are consistent with the fundamental objectives as provided in this Chapter; and (b) encourage development of technological and scientific studies which enhance cultural values.

The Nigerian reality

Culture is often underfunded and underused.

Track creative economy jobs, heritage sites, language preservation, and cultural exports here.

Prince Adewole Adebayo's commitment

Adebayo will treat culture as identity, education, tourism, and economic opportunity.

The Nigerian Reality

Section 21 can help the campaign speak to artists, filmmakers, teachers, traditional institutions, and young creators.

Adebayo's Commitment

The commitment should protect heritage while investing in the creative economy, museums, archives, language learning, and cultural industries.

Action Angle

Make this page visually rich later: photographs, quotes, and examples from film, music, literature, festivals, and heritage sites.

Make culture part of national development.

This is where the live petition, WhatsApp share card, and adopt-a- section pledge will plug in after the platform is validated.
