The centre, they noted, is envisioned as a national hub for talent development and cultural preservation, with the potential to boost youth empowerment and position Nigeria’s creative industry as a key driver of growth.
The organisers added that the exhibition is designed to serve as a visual archive celebrating leadership and influence while promoting the country’s creative sector.
With preparations in advanced stages and artworks nearing completion, invited dignitaries, stakeholders, and members of the public have been urged to attend what is being described as one of the most significant art gatherings in the country in the year.
