There are several challenges facing education generally in Nigeria. There has been a steady decline in standards in the visual arts, as in other disciplines. Today, there are very poor facilities for teaching art in almost all art schools in Nigeria.

More quotes by Peju Layiwola

Funding is a major issue for every artist; people want to watch a good play; people want to get entertained and they don’t want to pay for it.

People producing arts, all along the roads, on the streets; everywhere and you begin to know that this is a city of Art.

People do not recognise that there’s a lot of talent; a lot of energy that go into putting up a production.

For example, the visual arts which is my own forte, has been totally ignored in Nigeria.

Art draws material largely from the archives and historical episodes in Africa.
