With the steady rise in Nigeria’s creative industry, through a series of panels the event aims to explore some of the core issues facing the sector such as intellectual property and rights management in a global market, the business of branding and the future of Nigeria’s entertainment sector.

Speaking on the event, Strictly Entertainment Music founder, iKE Onuorah commented
“They say knowledge is power – If that be the case we at SEM believe TAER has a very significant role to play – for the last 2 years we’ve been championing the agenda of African owned creative businesses in the UK fully getting to grips with understanding the business they are in, their position within the African & Western markets as well as their potential bargaining power. In return we have had a lot of interest & support from the emerging African scene & mainstream industry!
Working with UKTI-Nigeria to bringing TAER home to Lagos could not happen at a better time & we both share a common goal – Improving bilateral trade between Nigerian & UK creative businesses whilst empowering the current & next generation of creative business professionals. Its time to be in the business of creativity as oppose to just being creative’s. We’re real excited about this trip & can’t wait to meet the industry building new relationships”.

Lagos Govt to appeal court ruling banning restriction of movement during sanitation exercise

Lagos state government says it would be appealing the court ruling by a Federal High court banning the restriction of movement during the monthly environmental sanitation exercise in the state.

Speaking on the ban, the state Attorney-general and Commissioner for justice, Ade Ipaye, said the state government was not satisfied with the court ruling and would be appealing it
"We are, of course, not satisfied with that decision of the federal high court looking at the density of Lagos being the highest population in Nigeria.
This exercise and our sanitation programme in general have made Lagos the envy of other states, many of whom have sent their officials to understudy it. We strongly believe that it is a necessary rule in a society such as ours. We are therefore filing an appeal immediately.” he said
Also speaking, the state Solicitor general, Lawal Pedro said a notice of appeal has been filed and would be sent to the federal high court

Osisiye Tafa, Access Bank staff publishes national bestseller

Cultural enthusiast and blogger, Osisiye Tafa recently published his first book, a creative non-fiction title; ‘Sixty Percent of a True Story’. His genius lies not in the easy flow of words, humour of his stories but the fact that he published this while in the employ of a bank.




Sixty Percent of a True Story’ profiles the undergraduate years of three students in the cosmopolitan University of Lagos. It captures that phase when they are introduced to society, religion, politics and the city of Lagos. It is a story of youth and aging, knowledge and ignorance, dreams and hustle. The novel is set in the University of Lagos in the years spanning 2006 to 2010. This later expands to the twin mega cities of Lagos and Abuja. 



Osisiye who enjoys an exciting life as a blogger and dog trainer works out of the Corporate Communication unit of Access Bank Plc.

Access Bank has been at the forefront of the social development of its staff as can be seen in its recent construction of a gym, crèche and sports at the office premises. Osisiye joins a lineage of Access Bank staff who have achieved success on the job and in their passions.

The book which has enjoyed positive independent reviews from The Guardian and Thisday Newspaper is available on AmazonKonga, Terra Kulture and Patabah bookstores.
