At the opening of Entertainment Week Africa (EWA) in Lekki, Commissioner for Tourism, Arts and Culture, Mrs Toke Benson-Awoyinka, highlighted the state's commitment to creating opportunities for young entrepreneurs and diaspora stakeholders to scale their businesses and showcase African creativity globally. The week-long event gives MSMEs in film, music, and media access to markets, collaboration opportunities, and mentorship through flagship programmes such as the EWA Content Festival and EWA Music Camp. These initiatives equip participants with the skills, networks, and exposure needed to produce globally competitive content. Read also, Benson-Awoyinka noted that Lagos is a hub for year-round creative enterprise, with government support driving innovative projects that create jobs and strengthen the local creative economy. Through platforms like the Content Market and Creators' Hub, EWA provides MSMEs and emerging talents practical tools to grow their businesses, generate revenue, and position Lagos as Africa's leading destination for creative enterprise and innovation. | | | |
