Hannatu Musawa, Nigeria’s Minister of Art, Culture, Tourism and Creative Economy, just turned Nnamdi Azikiwe Airport into a runway, jetting out to France for the 78th edition of the legendary Cannes Film Festival. Sister wasn’t just traveling; she was on a cultural mission—rocking a full Ogun 2024 National Sports Festival kit, pristine white cap, neon green sneakers, and that signature “Nigeria Everywhere” tote. From head to toe, it’s Naija or nothing!
Every shot was cinematic: gliding through the airport like a Nollywood heroine, suitcase in tow, and a bag beaming with patriotic patches. Peep the drip—Ogun 2024 badges popping like spring, and her bold “Nigeria Everywhere” statement bag—more Nigerian than jollof at a December wedding!
But this isn’t just about flexing style—Musawa is pushing Nigeria’s creative hustle to the world stage, one festival at a time. In her words: “From Nigeria to the world, the journey continues. En route to the Cannes Film Festival proudly carrying the spirit of Destination 2030 Nigeria—a vision to place Nigeria at the heart of global cultural conversations.”
The plot thickens: this iconic gesture—pairing sports and culture—is a living ad for cross-sector collabo. Big shout-out to Mr. Shehu Dikko of the National Sports Commission for the gear. The synergy is real: art, culture, tourism, and sport marching in one bold procession. The masterplan? Empower Nigerian youth, build creative hubs, attract global eyeballs, and show the world that Naija no dey carry last.
Her campaign is no cap: “Through #NigeriaEverywhere, we are intentionally taking Nigeria to the global stage—and Cannes is the next stop! See you at the Nigeria Pavilion!”
Salute to Hannatu Musawa, ambassador of Nigerian culture, taking our green, white, green to the world like the true queen she is. Cannes, get ready—Naija is about to scatter your timeline.
