The event, themed “Developing Film and Literacy Skills”, was held at the Afe Babalola Hall, University of Lagos , with selected young participants from UNILAG, YABATECH, LASU, Trinity University, and LASUTECH.

There’s been so much theory with no practice.“That’s why we invited professionals with field experience to train students in different areas of filmmaking and expose them to media dynamics. We need aspiring filmmakers like this that we can build on.”Support journalism driven by facts, created by Nigerians for Nigerians.
