Musawa is a legal practitioner, politician, and author who has served as Nigeria's minister of art, culture, tourism and creative economy since 2023. She is from Katsina state in northern Nigeria and belongs to the Hausa-Fulani ethnic group.

Musawa has been involved in Nigerian political affairs, both as a candidate and an activist. She contested for a legislative seat in the federal house of representatives, aiming to serve her constituency and the public. She also served as a lawyer on the prosecution team in the 2003 presidential election petition involving Muhammadu Buhari and Olusegun Obasanjo.

She emphasised that the government has set a goal of creating at least two million jobs within the creative industry by 2027.

The minister further noted that President Tinubu plans to unveil creative hubs across Nigeria’s six geopolitical zones in the coming months, positioning Nigeria as a global hub for creativity.
