"And like I said, when we launched Ogidi Studios; it was the best at the time and still the best in my humble opinion. And the studio that will be better than Ogidi Studios will still be developed by The Temple Company and it is coming. You can watch this space. With regards to capacity building, right from when we founded this company, we have run master-classes at no cost to attendees and in partnership with thought-leaders in the industry across different areas. We recently partnered with the Lagos State Government through the Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture, the University of Lagos and the Henley Business School to train about 1000 people, physically and virtually. We trained people in sound design, production design, songwriting, media studies and filmmaking, etc Again, we just go out and get things done. So, are we where we want to be? No. However, we’re in a better place. We intend to train some more in partnership with the Lagos State government and the Federal government of Nigeria. The more we address the deficits in talent, skill, and infrastructure, the better industry will be, and the better our economy will be."
