Kwara State Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq on Wednesday inspected the trendy sugar film factory, one of the administration’s iconic projects which seek to refocus the state’s economy for job creation, youth empowerment, and improved standard of living.

Designed to make Kwara a major hub in the last mile movie production and creative industry in west Africa, the facility earned its name from the nostalgic Tate and Lyle Sugar Factory which collapsed in the 1990s, in what underscored the Governor’s rich sense of history.

Mr Gbenga Titiloye, a veteran Nollywood star who’s also the pioneer Managing Director of the state of the art Film and Movies Factory was on hand to show the State Governor round the facilities and the investments the state has so far deployed to the factory.
