Osita Iheme, a.k.a Paw Paw, has written an SOS letter to
President Goodluck Jonathan raising a pensive observation following the release
of Nigeria’s new Gross Domestic Product (GDP) by the Minister of Finance
earlier this week revealing that telecommunication and the Entertainment
Industry contributed 8.6 and 1.4 per cent respectively to the nation’s GDP.
In
his observation, despite the fact that the industry has not officially
reflected in the current statistics, statistics show that, the industry has contributed
immensely to the growth of the nation. Paw Paw told R in a brief interview
during the week following this development, that it was high time the industry
had its own ministry since it is one of the areas that boosted the nation’s
economy. The actor called on the Federal Government to create a ministry so
that the industry can have its annual budget and other necessary requirements.
“The industry had been fending for itself over the years, but it has not
received support from the government, yet report showed that we had boosted the
growth of economy in the country without support from the government,” he
added.
