All roads lead to Landmark Event Centre, Oniru, Lagos today as the ninth edition of the Nigerian Entertainment Conference, also known as NECLive, is held.
Themed ‘Sustaining The Africa Momentum’, NECLive will be exploring how African creatives and entertainers can use digital media and technology tools to build sustainable economic power for themselves, the industry, and their nation.
