“That is why I am advising the youths to take advantage of the opportunity that the industry offers to make a living for themselves,” she said.

The musician said that apart from being able to build a name in the industry through one’s creative works, a person could also make money from the venture.

“A lot of musicians who are new in singing but have produced good works have become popular and made money from the sale of their products,’’ he said.

Oketola said that the industry had different areas where the youths could fit in, according to the skills they possess in the art of entertainment.

According to her, the youths could make a career out of music, comedy, movies, arts and crafts, among others, in whatever category their talent naturally fits into.
