Recognized by Forbes as Africa’s Most Successful Woman and dubbed “Africa’s Queen of Media” by CNN and the Hollywood Reporter, Abudu is well-equipped to discuss strategies for creating stories that bridge cultural divides.
“We are thrilled to have Mo Abudu as our keynote speaker,” said NFVCB Executive Director Dr. Shaibu Husseini. “Her passion for African storytelling and commitment to excellence make her an ideal fit for this conference.”
Dr. Husseini also highlighted the significance of Minister Musawa’s participation, noting it as her first appearance at the Nigeria Digital Content Conference. “The Minister’s presence underscores the government’s commitment to the growth and development of the creative sector,” he added.
The two-day conference will feature panel discussions and breakout sessions aligned with the main theme, fostering in-depth conversations around the future of digital content regulation in Nigeria.
