The State Commissioner for Arts, Culture and Tourism, Prof. Rasaki Ojo Bakare, disclosed this to newsmen in Ado-Ekiti while signing the Memorandum of Understand (MoU), with Native Media on Monday.

Bakare, a University Don and former Dean, Post Graduate School of the Federal University Oye-Ekiti (FUOYE), said that his Ministry is collaborating with Native Media, producer of the famous Television show, The Johnsons,​ to produce at least four epic movies that would project the tourism potentials and rich cultural heritage of Ekiti to the global community.

In a joint press briefing he co-addressed with Native Media’s founder, Mr. Rogers Ofime, at the state’s prestigious Fountain Hotel in Ado-Ekiti, Prof Bakare said: ” Ekiti State Ministry of Arts, Culture and Tourism has entered into solid collaboration with one of the most formidable film making firms on the Soil of Africa, Native media​ so as to further develop our tourism and culture business. Native media has produced many award winning Television Soaps and movies, some of which are The Johnsons, Hotel Majestic, Hush, Zone 222, Tarani Zamani, Oloibiri, Make Room, Till You Are 16, Torongiwa and Mystic River.​

“We are in partnership with them to make epic films, whose stories are located in the Ekiti environment. The films will also be shot in Ekiti. Ekiti is one huge film location as everywhere you go is a potential location for film shooting, especially when you travel through Efon, Aramoko, lkogosi and lpole-lloro tourism corridor. This film company has agreed to partner with us to make some Ekiti films that would make sellable rolls anywhere in the world. We are starting with the Ekiti Parapo war story.​

“We have agreed on four film projects for a start. The one kicking it off is the Ekiti parapo war story. We want you to know that we are doing it the way it has never been done before. We want to show that we can make huge money by selling our culture​ through film making,” he said.

He praised the Governor of Ekiti State, Dr. John Kayode Fayemi, for appointing a thorough-bred professional as Commissioner.

“We do projects that are African orientated, exportable and have cultural values.​ We are excited to work with Ekiti and most importantly, a highly cerebral professor like Prof Bakare, who is versatile and knows the in and out of Arts and Culture production. Ekiti has got great locations and rolling will be quite interesting here.

“We have a lot of our people outside Nigeria and these people will need such films. Our children outside Nigeria don’t know about our culture, so we get to them through these films. The commissioner has got great ideas for​ the Ministry, we are excited to be here and we are looking forward to some other things like having a Reality Show, building a film village in Ekiti among others, ” he said.​

Prof. Bakare, who is former D.G, Abuja Carnival, informed that other stories on which films will be made include those of the late Governor of Western Nigeria, Colonel Francis Adekunle Fajuyi, Ogun Onire and Egungun.

Script conference on the first film, Ekiti Parapo war, has already started while the cast and crew will be expected on location in October, 2020.
