Read the passage below carefully and answer the question that follows:

For centuries, the traditional tanneries of Kano have processed animal hides using vegetable dyes and organic tanning agents passed down through generations. However, recent shifts in global consumer preferences toward synthetic leather, combined with stringent local environmental regulations on effluent discharge into the Kano River basin, have forced master tanners into a delicate predicament. While municipal authorities insist on costly industrial water-treatment installations to curb heavy-metal contamination downstream, small-scale tannery guilds argue that their traditional methods rely primarily on biodegradable organic matter like pigeon droppings and acacia pods rather than synthetic chromium salts. Nevertheless, as cheaper imported polyurethane materials flood urban markets across West Africa, younger apprentices are increasingly abandoning the labor-intensive trade for commercial motorcycle transport. Consequently, older tanners find themselves squeezed between regulatory scrutiny meant for modern chemical processing plants and the declining market demand for authentic vegetable-tanned hides.

Based on the passage, which of the following deductions about the municipal authorities' environmental policy is best supported by the text?

Read the passage below carefully and evaluate the statement that follows.

Passage:
For generations, the adire textile heritage of Abeokuta relied on organic indigo fermentation in earthenware pots, creating intricate resist-dyed patterns that signified cultural lineage. However, the mid-twentieth century introduction of cheap synthetic dyes and factory-printed imitations flooded local markets, causing many young artisans to abandon traditional indigo pits for chemical alternatives that offered faster turnaround times. Recently, a resurgence driven by international sustainable fashion demands has reinvigorated Abeokuta's indigo industry. Modern boutique designers are willing to pay premium prices for authentically fermented indigo fabrics, recognizing that synthetic dyes lack the subtle tonal variations and eco-friendly appeal of natural vat processing. Yet, master dyers caution that despite this commercial revival, the elder craftspeople who possess the tacit knowledge of plant-based fermentation recipes are rapidly aging, and formal training structures remain absent. Without systematic documentation of these organic recipes, the current market boom risks relying on simplified techniques that compromise the historic authenticity of true adire.

Statement: The recent commercial resurgence of Abeokuta's adire industry guarantees the preservation of traditional indigo fermentation techniques.

Read the passage below carefully and answer the question that follows:

Constructed during the military regime of General Olusegun Obasanjo, the National Arts Theatre in Iganmu, Lagos, was completed in 1976 in preparation for the Second World Black and African Festival of Arts and Culture (FESTAC '77). The exterior design of the monument was modeled after the Army Hall in Varna, Bulgaria. The complex covers an expanse of approximately 23,000 square meters and houses a primary auditorium capable of seating 5,000 patrons, alongside two multipurpose cinema halls. Funding for the initial construction was sourced entirely from federal oil revenues accumulated during the 1970s petroleum boom. Unlike regional cultural centers of the era, the National Theatre was placed under the direct operational governance of the Federal Ministry of Information and Culture rather than state-level arts councils.

According to the passage, which authority was assigned direct operational oversight of the National Arts Theatre?
