The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Bank of Industry (BoI) and Small and Medium Enterprises Development Agency of Nigeria (SMEDAN) will lead a phalanx of financial regulators , bankers , investors and others to Lagos International Film Festival.

According to the organizer of the event, this year edition of LIFF, will hold on August 30 , 2023 at the exquisite Oriental Hotels Victoria Island Lagos.

It, is, however, worthy of note that about one trillion naira will assemble under one roof within the framework of a technical workshop to discuss Financing and Risk Mitigation strategies for the creative industry.

Speaking on this in Lagos recently, LIFF Festival Director, Daisy Madu-Chikwendu, explained that, “this is why we are focusing on partnerships this year . There cannot be meaningful growth without adequate capital.

“This capital is clearly available as the workshop will demonstrate .What is more important is how to secure this funding and even importantly ensure that these monies return to the pool for further circulation”, he said.
