Kunle Afolayan, the Nigerian filmmaker, has unveiled his film village and resort in Oyo state.
The unveiling ceremony of the Kunle Afolayan Productions (KAP) film village and resort was held in Igbojaye on Saturday.
The event was attended by prominent figures, including Seyi Makinde, governor of Oyo, and Hannatu Musawa, the minister of art, culture, and creative economy.
Also present were Wasiu Olatunbosun, Oyo commissioner for culture and tourism; Dotun Oyelade, commissioner for information; and Wasilat Adegoke, commissioner for youth and sports.
Actors, producers, and other entertainment industry stakeholders were also in attendance.
Speaking at the event, Makinde praised Afolayan for his vision and commitment to cultural development through the film village.
The Oyo governor also pledged state support in providing sustainable power for the facility.
“What a remarkable feat this is for my brother, Kunle Afolayan, the visionary whose project has brought us all together,” Makinde said.
“This project represents a big win for Oyo State. Kunle Afolayan is not from Oyo State, but see what he has done in the state.
“Afolayan chose this place, and what this project has achieved is that it has put this location, Igbojaiye, on the global map as far as tourism is concerned.
“I will talk to the Commissioner for Energy to put in here a solar mini grid. Second, even if we have to take a direct electricity line from Okaka, which is only 23 kilometres away, to be dedicated to this place, we will do it.”
