While commending Idahosa for his world-class investment in African talents, Adefarasin celebrated the prolific DCA lecturers for “sacrificing their time in a bid to better invest in the Nigerian Media and Filmmaking Industry.”
He assured the academy’s training will greatly impact the African creative industry and improve the African storytelling culture.
He and his wife explained the significance of names and proceeded to give all the DCA lecturers native names.
They presented the team with several tomes on Nigerian heritage and history (including the rich Benin culture and the notable Benin Wall), which he said he hopes will fuel their desire for knowledge of the motherland and influence their artistry about this vast and rich Nation and the African Continent as a whole.
Adefarasin said he believes unequivocally that their visit will greatly impact and strengthen the creative industry in Nollywood, improve our storytelling culture and birth many productive partnerships.
