QEDNG, an online newspaper published by Mighty Media Plus Network Limited, has partnered with First Bank, Nigeria LNG (NLNG), and Shell for the maiden edition of its ‘creative powerhouse summit’.
Themed ‘Financing as Catalyst for a Thriving Creative Economy’, the summit will take place on August 12, 2025, at the Radisson Blu Hotel, Ikeja GRA, Lagos.
The summit will bring together creatives, investors, policymakers, and business leaders to explore solutions to the funding challenges facing Nigeria’s creative industries.
In a statement released on Monday, Olumide Iyanda, the CEO of Mighty Media, described the partnership with First Bank as a strong statement of the bank’s belief in the power of Nigeria’s creative sector.
“First Bank’s support is a reaffirmation of its long-standing commitment to promoting the creative economy. Through First@arts, the bank has become a reliable partner to talents, institutions, and organisations working to grow Nigeria’s cultural assets,” he said.
He also praised NLNG for its role in promoting excellence in literature and science, while adding that Shell’s support for the summit reflects its ongoing commitment to education and social development.
“NLNG has shown leadership by rewarding creativity and innovation in ways that impact both the literary and scientific communities,” he added.
“Shell’s belief in education as a foundation for long-term progress aligns with our vision for the summit.”
Iyanda had earlier revealed that the conference is designed to bridge gaps, provide resources, and empower stakeholders to drive transformative change, aligning with “QEDNG’s mission to support Nigeria’s cultural and economic development”.
