Some people think that government is wasting money on the arts, and that this money should be spent elsewhere. To what extent do you agree with this view?

The question of whether

government

should keep funding the arts remains a very

topic. Some are of the opinion that it is a wasteful practice that should be frowned upon.  I totally disagree with

this

money.    The

world as well as its tourism remains a major source of revenue for governments globally. It is a very profitable venture. Money is spent to make more money and the arts should not be an exception.

For instance

, the Nike

art

gallery in Lagos serves not only as an exhibition centre but as a tourist attraction that generates a great deal of revenue for the state through exhibitions and entrance fees. Experts have shown that all forms of

art

are even more profitable than healthcare and information technology.     In conclusion,  the arts remain a vital part of every society. It should be placed on the same level as

and technological advancements. In my opinion,  I believe that it is not wasteful spending for governments to fund the arts compared to other fields

such

as transportation and education.
