The 2nd edition of the Nigerian
Entertainment Conference held at the ball room of the prestigious Eko hotel and
suites, yesterday 23rd April, 2014. The Conference- a brain
child of the NET publisher, Adekunle Ayeni-was well attended. It was an
assembly of stakeholders in the Nigerian entertainment scene. The Conference discusses
the potentials that abound in the industry as a tool for national development;
the challenges and future of the industry; all subsumed in the very apt theme
of the conference. ‘Creating Pathways for the future’.
