A creative studio, EPAC Studios, has been unveiled by Ecobank Nigeria Limited to promote talents in the showbiz industry in Africa.
The bank disclosed in a statement that the facility would be used to carefully tell “authentic African stories in art, culture, lifestyle, and entertainment.”
According to the Head of Marketing and Corporate Communications at Ecobank Nigeria, Mr Jide Sipe, the initiative is to showcase further and develop the creative industry, adding that the space is an open canvas for the public to explore, collaborate and create premium indigenous content for television, online and mobile platforms.
EPAC Studios is tucked in the Ecobank Pan-African Centre (EPAC), an edifice along the Ozumba Mbadiwe Road in Victoria Island, Lagos.
The building, with a scintillating ambience, enhances productivity and service delivery; it houses smart offices, a restaurant, a multipurpose conference hall, a gym, a crèche, a parking lot that can accommodate 130 vehicles at a time, an experience and game centre and a rooftop terrace, among others.
“The studio is designed to inspire and entertain people and project brands through engaging and quality videos.
“For us as a bank, we believe in the power of inclusivity; this is why EPAC Studios is a free-to-use space accessible to all creative minds.
“We are embracing partnerships and collaborations with other brands to foster a dynamic environment where ideas flourish.
“EPAC Studios is more than just four walls and a roof; it represents a world where we are your creative partners. Understanding that dreams are meant to be fulfilled, our focus is on helping you turn those dreams into reality,” Mr Sipe said.
Commenting further, he said, “To the creative mind, I dare say EPAC Studios is the hub for innovation and expression. Our primary goal is collaborating with you, giving life to your visions and amplifying your voices.
