The government of the United Kingdom is making efforts to partner with Burna Boy’s show organisers in a move that would shore up the the thriving entertainment sector in Nigeria.
A meeting to that effect was staged on Friday at the at the British Deputy High Commission in Lagos after the UK government was impressed with the success of the recently staged Burna Boy ‘Lagos Loves Damini’ January 1 show.

In a remark, Kennedy listed the positives including the fact that the show was the first African Show listed on Burna Boy’s official website + ticketing.
He also pointed out that the show was the biggest outdoor music concert with over 30,000 audiences.
Kennedy, however, observed that in spite of the positives, there were some challenges and learning points.
He said that the desire to address the main challenges and negatives encountered at the Lagos show necessitated the visit to the British Deputy High Commission to meet with the UK Department for International Trade and discuss possible collaboration for future events.
