“MADEFest is more than an event; it’s a movement,” he said. “We’re creating a space where creativity thrives, communities connect, and culture is celebrated. This year’s edition will be big, bold, and deeply rooted in the Nigerian spirit of resilience and beauty, evoking a nostalgic feeling with the theme, ‘Fusion of Eras,” he said.
Oseahon revealed that the event has received endorsements from the Federal Ministry of Women Affairs, the Federal Ministry of Art, Culture, Tourism and Creative Economy, as well as the Federal Ministry of Youth Development.
He added that the celebration promises an unforgettable showcase of Nigerian and African brilliance across art, music, food, fashion, and performance.
