Entertainment in Nigeria has been estimated to become a $9.9 billion industry by 2022 and what this means is that this huge amount of revenue is going to be plucked by those who position themselves to benefit the most from it.
Based on this information, the CEO of ID Africa, Mr Femi Falodun said that data will play a key role in determining the success of businesses in the entertainment industry.
He also said that entertainers and service providers should go beyond just doing the job and also provide feedback and report on the services they render. This will help to create data on the value of their services and also give them a tested process that they can replicate in future projects.

Key players in the Nigerian entertainment industry are billed to share ideas on how mobile, data, and consumer insights will change the dynamics of entertainment in the future.

After seven years of what has now become a tradition for the entertainment industry, NECLive Founder, Ayeni Adekunle will makes a bold proposal for what the future of entertainment should look like in Africa, particularly Nigeria when the conference opens on April 24, 2019.
His proposal, Let’s Do Things Differently, will lead the discussions at NEC Live 7.

“There’s an opportunity to build something that can truly transform the industry. And that’s what technology provides. From comedy to music, film, fashion, and media, how can we make sure that we build a future where our products are available to consumers where, when and how they want them? How can we make sure that experiences can be customised and personal? How can we create a system where the big funds are pouring into the creative sector because it’s been demonstrated that the industry means business?”
