For Nigeria to surpass its current status in the global music market, it must continue to embrace new innovation as well as leverage the potential of the digital economy.
These and many more formed the lists of recommendations made by music scholars at a forum held in Ibadan, the Oyo state capital.
The Nigerian music industry over the years has remained a dynamic and influential force globally.
The industry’s growth has been driven by factors such as the rise of digital platforms, social media, and streaming services, which have facilitated wider reach and exposure for Nigerian musicians
Following this development, I spoke with a cross section of young Nigerians who believe that the introduction of several streaming platforms in the music industry has made access to songs more convenient.
In light of this, the Association of Nigerian Musicologists held the 19th edition of its annual conference where the scholar submitted that more attention must be given to the growth of music through digitalization.
Others stakeholders believe that music education must be encouraged in academic institutions to build the interest of youths.
At this conference, music experts hold the conviction that the results of their deliberations will influence governmental policies aimed at nurturing innovation and enhancing the music sector.
