With Nile, Babatope told Nollywire that his vision is to lead and participate in the Nigerian film industry with ingenious ideas.

“Our goal is to celebrate African stories and bring them to the global stage in the most spectacular ways. This is an exciting time for us, and we are happy to reshape the future of African entertainment,” he said.

With the entertainment sector contributing significantly to Nigeria’s economic health, Nile Media Entertainment Group hopes to explore fresh markets, creating, showcasing, and distributing content within West Africa and beyond.

“The plan is bigger than Moses Babatope; it’s not just another entertainment venture. The plan is to grow the industry ten times bigger. We’re innovating, disrupting, and creating new revenue lines for the industry,” he said.
