The world-class Lagos Film City is a first-of-its-kind project in Nigeria that promises to situate Lagos as the hub of creativity and entertainment on the African continent. In addition to ultramodern sound stages, film studios and theme parks, the Film City will also serve as a beacon of hope for African creatives and a place where they can finally express and actualize themselves through art & creativity.
