Announcing the opening of the studio, Head, Marketing and Corporate Communications, Jide Sipe, said the initiative by the bank is to further showcase and develop the creative industry, stating that the space is an open canvas for the public to explore, collaborate and create premium indigenous content for television, online and mobile platforms.

“The studio is designed to inspire and entertain people and also project brands through engaging and quality videos. For us as a bank, we believe in the power of inclusivity, this is why EPAC Studios is a free-to-use space, accessible to all creative minds. We are embracing partnerships and collaborations with other brands to foster a dynamic environment where ideas flourish.
