The President of EMCOAN, Adeniji Omirin, stated this while announcing plans for NEMCEA 2025 with the theme “Sustainable Content Creation in a Fragmented Media Landscape.”
Omirin also revealed that the event will be held between September 16, 2025 and September 17, 2025.
“We are privileged to have as our lead facilitator, Mr John Orakwe, an award-winning AI strategist and one of the world’s top AI educators, who has trained thousands of business leaders across several countries. With him, we will explore both the opportunities and ethical considerations of AI in media production.
“This is a bold step forward. It is evidence of our belief that Nigeria’s creative and electronic content industry must not be left behind in the global digital transformation.
“By equipping our professionals, students, and emerging creators with these skills, we position Nigeria not just as a consumer of global media technology, but as a producer of content and innovation that can stand on any stage in the world,” Omirin highlighted.
