By Ade Oluwa, Lagos
The organisers of the Best of Nollywood Awards (BON) have teamed up with the Odi-Olowo/Ojuwoye Local Council Development Area (LCDA) to organise a three-day capacity-building program aimed at nurturing creative talents among youth in the community.
In a statement issued in Lagos on Thursday, the executive producer of BON, Feranmi Olaoye, explained that the initiative was designed to equip participants with practical knowledge across key areas of filmmaking, including acting, directing, script development, and film production.
She noted that the training will feature mentoring sessions and interactive learning opportunities led by respected figures in the Nigerian film industry, such as Biodun Stephens, Jide Awobona and Judith Audu.
According to Olaoye, the program is tailored to provide young people with both the technical skills and professional insights needed to thrive in a highly competitive entertainment industry.
She emphasised that the initiative aligns with BON’s overarching goal of identifying and nurturing grassroots talent, particularly among young individuals who are passionate about storytelling but lack access to formal training platforms.
“This program goes beyond teaching the fundamentals of filmmaking; it aims to create opportunities for young artists to establish enduring careers in Nollywood,” she stated.
Olaoye further stated that the training would serve as a gateway for participants to explore diverse opportunities in Nigeria’s film industry and beyond.
Scheduled to take place from March 25–28, the program is expected to inspire and prepare participants for future engagements within the creative space.
