The  Radio, Television and Theatre Arts Workers Union of Nigeria (RATTAWU) has called on the Federal Government to support the cultural sector by improving its funding.

It said this is necessary as the sector stimulates tourism, which is fast becoming a money spinning venture in the country.

The group made the call at the recently concluded Cultural Trade Group meeting held in Abuja, according to a statement by its general secretary, Comrade A. Akpausoh.

The group expressed worry over the poor funding of the Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) in the cultural sector stressing that it has been a huge setback to the actualization of their goals of growing the sector.
