“Content is the new oil, and at UBA, we recognise the content creation and digital influence sector as a very tangible and significant pillar of the Nigerian economy. Just as oil transformed our nation’s economic landscape, digital content is now driving unprecedented growth, creating jobs, and opening new avenues for wealth creation,” Shamsideen said

Also speaking, the Group Head, Corporate and Marketing Communications, Alero Ladipo, who emphasised UBA’s dedication to knowledge sharing, pointed out that successful content creation goes beyond simply shooting video and relies on a clear strategy and key principles.
“At UBA, we believe in the power of storytelling to influence hearts and minds. This initiative is a deliberate part of that strategy, leveraging the creative economy to demonstrate our commitment to being a forward-thinking and reliable partner”
To make this a reality, we have gathered seasoned creators, including some of Nigeria’s biggest and most influential voices who will be sharing their hard-earned insights, proven growth strategies, and the closely-guarded secrets that have propelled them to the top of their field”
