This study examines the challenges and prospects of the cultural industry in promoting Nigeria's economy through a qualitative case study of Nike Art Gallery, Abuja. The research investigates the gallery's contributions to employment generation, cultural preservation, entrepreneurship, tourism, and economic diversification, while identifying the constraints limiting its developmental potential. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with purposively selected staff and artists and were analysed using thematic analysis. The findings reveal that Nike Art Gallery serves as a vital platform for artistic training, cultural heritage preservation, market access, and income generation, thereby supporting the growth of Nigeria's creative economy. However, inadequate funding, high production costs, unreliable infrastructure, weak institutional support, limited market access, and intellectual property concerns continue to hinder the sector's expansion. The study concludes that strategic investment, stronger cultural policies, improved digital infrastructure, and enhanced public-private partnerships are essential for unlocking the full economic potential of Nigeria's cultural industry and ensuring sustainable national development.

This paper aims at exploring the ways the authority designs English Textbooks of Primary School with the roles, profession, social status of men and women and shows how the process of this setting causes gender discrimination, and promotes unjust treatments between men and women in Bangladesh. This paper scrutinizes the primary school's English textbooks from class 1 to class 5 and brings out all the aspects of them by using the lenses of feminism. To achieve the goal of this study, a mixed-method approach is followed. As language is a prime source of exercising power, the uses of languages in these books are also taken to be considered as a focused point of this paper. Using Lazar (2007)'s four key theoretical framework, this paper critically analyses the collected data. It discovers a little gender discrimination, and patriarchal mentality of the book writers. A large number of gender imbalanced tools that were present in the previous texts are not found in present revised texts in 2026. The authors use a conscious attempt to represent a discrimination free atmosphere that can shape the children's mentality in a positive way. Here, besides male, female characters are also visible and play different roles in the society. But some gender stereotypical ideas are presented by the repeated representation of women with household activities and by the commodification of them. The conclusion of the paper hopes for the textbooks written in a more balanced and equal way making both the male and female students feel equal.
