AKWA IBOM TALENT SHOWCASE


ABOUT THE PROJECT

A phoenix comes to live in the theatre of dreams- that is how AKS Talent Showcase can best be themed, a first-of-its-kind performing arts competition that engages the teeming young talents to showcase their natural gifts in Drama, Music, and Dance.

The entertainment industry is undoubtably one of the most outstanding unicorns in Nigeria’s economic space and is continuously growing as the major access to how the world views Nigeria. AKS Talent Showcase further echoes this conviction by opening the stage for our state-grown creative potentials to demonstrate to the world their true talents, fortitude, capabilities, courage, and worth.
