The statement said: “Nigeria is not ready for this festival! Where have we seen an event where we’re bringing up and coming artists, A-list artists, activists, tech guys, private sector guys all together in the same space to have conversations, eat, party, and create change? I mean it’s unheard of,” Jude ‘M.I’ Abaga, Chief Executive Officer of TASCK stated: “We are giving young creatives a platform to shine and at the same time we’re telling people to go out and vote.”
