Video production has been a brooding passion for Abiola, fondly called “AJ” by his admirers. He has been directing high quality production with ease and consistently for years before he entered into partnership to birth NoVex Africa Productions, which he says was borne out of his desire to redefine video production in Nigeria and take it to the next level.
