A new report highlights the need for investment and structural reforms in Nigeria's comic industry to foster growth and capitalize on its creative potential.
The Bookause 2025 Annual Nigerian Comic Industry Report emphasizes the importance of the comic sector in Nigeria's creative economy, noting that, while it generates original stories and characters, it lacks the formal investment frameworks necessary for substantial growth. The report details how most comic creators struggle with funding, managing various aspects of their work independently, which limits their capacity for long-term development. With a focus on the potential of comics as a foundational element for intellectual property development, it warns that without proper support, the growth of related industries such as animation, film, and gaming may be stunted, underscoring the urgent need for a strategic investment framework.
