The promotion of economic development and productivity in Nigeria requires a cultural policy framework that fosters productive consciousness while recognising the country's cultural diversity and heritage. This paper examines the relationship between cultural consciousness, cultural practices, and economic productivity in a developing economy. It argues that enhancing cultural productivity requires a praxis-oriented cultural transformation that draws on anthropological and sociological perspectives while discouraging harmful practices, such as human sacrifice, and challenging cultural attitudes that undermine Western education. The paper further highlights the importance of cultural awareness, shared values, and institutional support in strengthening the contribution of culture to economic development. It conceptualises cultural consciousness as a resource for organised economic activity, environmental productivity, respect for cultural diversity, and the preservation of cultural heritage. The paper recommends increased funding for cultural initiatives, effective supervision and protection of cultural heritage, and stronger institutional mechanisms to improve cultural productivity and its contribution to national development.
