Nigeria and Brazil have signed the commercial phase of the 1.1 billion dollars Green Imperative Project (GIP) to boost productivity in agriculture and enhance private sector investment in Nigeria.

Akoroko reports that Nigeria and Brazil just made history, signing their first-ever audiovisual co-production treaty on June 24 in Abuja. This landmark deal, the most formal cultural pact ever inked between the two nations, paves the way for joint film, TV, animation, and digital projects to qualify as “national productions” in both countries — unlocking public funds, tax perks, and official quotas.

From Destination 2030 to content pipelines connecting Lagos and Rio, this could be a game-changer for global Black cinema.
