Lagos State Governor Akinwunmi Ambode on Thursday said that his administration has concluded plans to begin a total revamping of the National Arts Theatre in Iganmu, Lagos, by April.

Ambode made the disclosure when he hosted officials of the Africa Movies Academic Awards (AMAA) led by its President, Peace Anyiam-Osigwe at the Lagos House, Ikeja.

He expressed optimism of his administration’s plan to give the National Arts Theatre a face lift ahead of the AMAA ceremony coming up later in the year.

“I want to also say that I am very particular about the venue of the AMAA, so we will use everything possible to make sure that the National Arts Theatre is ready.

“We are in a process and before the month ends, we should have something to start doing within the first week of April to getting the whole place ready,” he said.

The governor said he was very much committed to seeing the creative arts industry thrive, hence the recent interventions by the government in recent times.

He further said the hosting of the AMAA event in Lagos would add more glamour to the celebration of the state’s Golden Jubilee and showcase its hospitality to the continent.
