Ecobank set to support Nigeria’s entertainment industry

 

The Managing Director, Ecobank Nigeria, Mr. Patrick Akinwuntan, says the bank is set to support the Nigerian movie industry to project Nigeria’s good image.

Akinwuntan was quoted by a statement on Monday to have said this at the premiere of the movie ‘The Bling Lagosians’ in Lagos.

He said Ecobank was determined to support the creative industry as it was most suited in the task of reinventing the Nigeria of “our dreams” and in line with the vision of Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to support the creative industry through a financing initiative.

Akinwuntan said Ecobank was passionate about Africa, its cultural renaissance and partnership with Mrs. Bolanle Austen-Peters, a renowned African culture promoter.

He said that the bank would continue to leverage its digital offerings through its products, EcobankPay and the Ecobank Xpress ecosystem, to remain in the forefront as key enablers of digital payments across the continent.

As part of the partnership, the bank presented the sum of N500,000 to the best dressed person at the premiere, being the climax of the ‘Eko for Show’ dress code for the event. “EcobankPay, the lifestyle digital payment and collections service of Ecobank Nigeria, was the payment solution for the premiere of the movie.
