Governor Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State has commended the film’s global breakthrough, praising the creative team and reaffirming his administration’s dedication to supporting the arts.


 “This is a proud moment for Lagos and for Nigeria,” the Governor stated. “We are committed to nurturing local talent and creating an environment where creativity can thrive.”


The Lagos State Film and Video Censors Board (LSFVCB), in partnership with the Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture, also expressed pride in supporting the project. 


According to the Commissioner for Tourism, Arts and Culture, Mrs. Toke Benson-Awoyinka, the film represents “A significant step in amplifying Nigerian voices on the world stage.”


As the Cannes Film Festival draws near, anticipation is building across Nigeria’s entertainment industry. Residents of Lagos and film enthusiasts nationwide are encouraged to follow the premiere and celebrate what is expected to be a landmark moment for Nollywood.
