Lagos State will host the 2025 Global Conference of the Theatre and Motion Pictures Practitioners Association of Nigeria (TAMPAN), celebrating its pivotal role in the growth of Nigeria’s creative sector. Themed “Creativity and Innovation,” the event will honor Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu with the TAMPAN Pillar of Arts Award.
Otunba Bolaji Amusan, Global President of TAMPAN, made the announcement during a press briefing in Abeokuta on Friday. He commended Lagos for cultivating a supportive environment for the arts. Over 8,000 practitioners are expected to attend the event, which will be held across two venues: the Lagos Television Complex in Ikeja and the University of Lagos in Yaba.
