Nollywood filmmakers Biodun Stephens, Steve Sodiya, and Judith Audu have been confirmed as some of the speakers at a capacity-building event by the Best of Nollywood (BON) Awards, in collaboration with Odi-Olowo/Ojuwoye LCDA, Mushin, Lagos.

Scheduled to hold from March 25, 2026, to March 28, 2026, the intensive training programme is designed to equip youths with practical knowledge, creative skills, and industry insights required to thrive in Nigeria’s dynamic film and entertainment industry.

The training will also feature an impressive lineup of accomplished industry professionals, including Jide Awobona, Sanjo Adegoke, Tunde Olaoye, and Praide Gina. The facilitators are expected to provide hands-on guidance across key areas such as acting, directing, scriptwriting, production, and other critical aspects of filmmaking.
Speaking on the initiative, organisers noted that the programme is part of BON Awards’ continued commitment to grassroots talent discovery and development, particularly among young people who possess the passion for storytelling but lack access to structured training and mentorship.
“This initiative is about creating opportunities for young people in Odi Olowo to find expression through Nollywood. We are not just training them; we are helping them build a future within the creative industry,” the organisers stated.
Participants will benefit from direct interactions with industry experts, practical sessions, and exposure to real-world filmmaking processes, positioning them for opportunities within Nollywood and beyond.
