Speaking on the event, Strictly Entertainment Music founder, iKE Onuorah commented “They say knowledge is power – If that be the case we at SEM believe TAER has a very significant role to play – for the last 2 years we’ve been championing the agenda of African owned creative businesses in the UK fully getting to grips with understanding the business they are in, their position within the African & Western markets as well as their potential bargaining power. In return we have had a lot of interest & support from the emerging African scene & mainstream industry!

Working with UKTI-Nigeria to bringing TAER home to Lagos could not happen at a better time & we both share a common goal – Improving bilateral trade between Nigerian & UK creative

businesses whilst empowering the current & next generation of creative business professionals. Its time to be in the business of creativity as oppose to just being creative’s. We’re real excited about this trip & can’t wait to meet the industry building new relationships”.
