The Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, on Wednesday, performed the groundbreaking ceremony of the $100 million Lagos Film City.
The Film City which is located on a 100-hectare land area at Ikosi-Ejinrin area of Epe Local Government Area, is a Public Private Partnership model which will create numerous job opportunities, stimulate economic growth and attract investment.
This is coming less than two weeks after Governor Sanwo-Olu initially revealed that the groundbreaking ceremony of the Lagos Film City will be performed before the end of October.
The Film City will be a hub for film production, visual effects, scripting, cinematography, editing, photography and all the ancillary services that support the filmmaking process.
The project is in collaboration with various notable players in the entertainment sector like Ebonylife Academy, Del-York and Ogidi Studios.
In October 2022, the Lagos State government announced it had signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Del-York Group for the construction of the Film City in Epe.
Governor Sanwo-Olu said the purpose of the proposed African Film City project was to enhance originality in content creation in Nigeria’s film industry, i.e. Nollywood.
