We are thrilled to announce the successful completion of the Enugu SME Skill-Acquisition One-Day Masterclass (ESAM) last weekend! This transformative session, themed *“Unlocking the Secrets of Animation,”* brought together top industry experts to equip Enugu’s creative talents with the skills needed to thrive in the animation industry.
A key highlight was the session with Mr. Ferdinand Adimefe, CEO of Magic Carpet Studios, who emphasized: *“Africa has great stories but lacks the capacity to tell them. Animation can help fill that gap.”* The discussion reinforced the growing relevance of animation as a catalyst for the digital and creative economy.
This initiative aligns with *His Excellency, Governor Peter Mbah’s vision for Enugu as a hub for innovation and digital creativity.* Under his leadership, the state is actively empowering creatives, fostering digital skills development, and positioning Enugu as a competitive player in the global creative economy.
We extend our appreciation to:
- Arinze Chilo-Offiah (Special Adviser on MSMEs & Digital Economy; DG, Enugu SME Center) for his unwavering support in driving digital skills development in Enugu. As he rightly stated: “This training provides Ndi Enugu youths with the opportunity to discover their skillset and offer services both locally and globally.”
- Mr. David Victorious (Co-founder, Magic Labs Academy)
- Mr. Toochi Daniel (Co-founder, Afrochives Studio) – for sharing valuable insights on animation’s impact on Enugu’s creative economy
- The Enugu SME Center team for their dedication in making this event a success!
Building on this momentum, the upcoming Enugu Magic Labs Animation Training Program (EMAT) is set to be a game-changer for aspiring animators, providing world-class training and industry exposure!
