“We will focus on developing economic and technical creative side of entertainment relationships within industry.

“We will also be addressing this constraint by having workshops and speakers which focuses on the technicalities of film, television, audiovisual, music, radio, entertainment Law and Creative investment.”

“Workshops and speakers will be delivered by top players in this field who will be able to provide practical knowledge and skills as well as valuable insights into how we can go about ensuring improvements in the Nigerian Creative industry,” she explained.

This, she said had resulted in a lack of depth and breadth which is essential to capitalise on continental and global opportunities.
