Nene Bejide, Lead Consultant of Blanche Aigle Communications, describes the summit as a pivotal moment for Africa’s storytelling economy.
“We believe the media is the pulse of culture, business, and innovation. This media roundtable is more than an event—it is a blueprint for what is possible when Africa owns its narrative. It scales its media industry with intention, innovation, and investment.”
As the continent continues to experience a shift in how narratives are crafted and consumed, the Blanche Aigle Media Roundtable stands as an essential forum for reimagining media in inclusive, future-focused, and globally competitive ways in Nigeria, Africa.
