Nollywood: Femi Adebayo inaugurates a Dolby Atmos studio in Lagos and trains 30 young people for free

Nigerian actor and producer Femi Adebayo announced on October 8, 2026, an entirely free film masterclass, to be held from October 29 to 31, 2026, in Lagos at the Euphoria 360 complex, which was inaugurated two days earlier, reports the Nigerian media outlet Legit.ng. Registration is open, but spots are limited: only the first thirty selected applications will be accepted, the actor specified.

Equipment that Nollywood did not have on-site

The hub, located in Oregun, in the Ikeja district of Lagos, is the headquarters of the company Euphoria360 Media Limited. It was inaugurated on October 6, 2026, by the Deputy Governor of Lagos State, Kadri Obafemi Hamzat, in the presence of Nollywood figures Odunlade Adekola, Kunle Afolayan, and Ramsey Nouah, according to Legit.ng.

The site brings together cinema-quality filming studios, post-production suites for editing and color grading, a Dolby Atmos mixing room, a Foley studio, event and music video filming spaces, equipment rental services, and the Euphoria360 Academy.

The stakes are as industrial as they are cultural. Nollywood produces content on a massive scale, but the heavy technical chain—certified sound mixing, Foley, and color grading—remains a rare link on the continent. Installing this capacity in Lagos means keeping a portion of the value, and the accompanying expertise, on-site.

Three days of training on the entire craft

The masterclass, taught in person by active professionals, will cover acting, directing, editing, sound design, and film scoring. The registration form asks candidates about their areas of interest, experience, and availability, according to Legit.ng. "We have a responsibility to create opportunities," summarized Femi Adebayo, as quoted by the Nigerian media outlet.

The rumor of 40 billion naira

The inauguration also sparked a controversy over figures. On October 7, 2026, internet users circulated a valuation of 40 billion naira for the complex. Femi Adebayo reacted with astonishment without providing any amount, and another internet user suggested one or two billion naira instead, reports Legit.ng. None of these figures have been confirmed by the actor or his company: these are estimates from internet users, not verified data.

Revealed to the general public by the success of "Jagun Jagun," Femi Adebayo also hinted that a new project, provisionally titled "War of Warriors," is under consideration, according to Legit.ng.
