Lagos Film City promises to be a one-stop destination for a thriving film, entertainment, and production ecosystem, through its state-of-the-art sound stages
held the ceremonial groundbreaking of the Lagos Film City in Ejinrin, Epe Lagos. It was the culmination of a three year-journey, which originated from the vision and mission of Mr Linus Idahosa, CEO and Founder of Del-York Group.
The project is envisioned as a first-of-its-kind creative industry conclave where academia meets industry. This 100-hectare live, work, and play facility boasts 900 metres of prime waterfront and is in the serene and picturesque old town of Ejinrin in the Epe Local Government Area of the state. Ejinrin harbours much of Lagos and Nigeria’s early commercial history and is said to be the location of Nigeria’s first commercial seaport and home to the country’s first post office.
A synergistic confluence of Del-York University, Kebulania’s Studio City, and Kebulania Theme Park isn’t merely about bricks and mortar; it’s a citadel fostering a vibrant film ecosystem. From ultra-modern sound stages to post-production facilities, movie sets, workshops, and a contemporary theme park, this project aims to empower local and international talents and stimulate economic growth across the country and sub-region.
Lagos Film City is poised to generate over 10,000 direct and indirect employment opportunities, offering vast prospects for both the creative and technological fields. This hub will cultivate Africa’s creative potential, usher in a fresh era of filmmaking in the Nollywood landscape, and foster a conducive atmosphere for local and international investors to fund, produce, and disseminate Nigerian content.
