investment and partnership opportunities for the US investor community.

meeting generated great enthusiasm and fascination with this young man who is

struck an exclusive partnership with the New York Film Academy to send its best
filmmakers to Nigeria for several weeks each year to conduct one of their most
intensive hands-on training programs.
In the two
years, over 60 lecturers from the New York and Los Angeles campuses of the
academy have been flown into the city of Abuja and Lagos respectively, training
