“In collaboration with the FilmOne Group, Nigeria’s delegation created an expansive platform for filmmakers, animators, musicians, and other creatives to collaborate with their African counterparts. This effort aimed to not only promote cultural exchange but also to open doors for cross-border partnerships that could accelerate the growth of Africa’s creative economy.

“Among the highlights of the event was a panel discussion on the business of Nollywood, during which Dr. Ngozi Akande, (Director, Arts and Culture, NCAC) emphasized the tremendous growth of Nigeria’s film industry. Key discussions included the potential for co-productions with South Africa and how intentional storytelling could help heal past rifts, including the historical solidarity Nigeria showed during South Africa’s apartheid struggle.
