Accoding to news reaching us the maiden edition of “YORUBA FILMS AND MUSIC FAIR” originally slated for  March 22 and 26, 2017 at the Blue Roof,  Lagos State Television (LTV 8)  Alausa, Ikeja, Lagos, will now come up between  5th and 7th July,2017 at the same venue ,according to the organizers, the main reason for the postponement is to give more stakeholders the opportunity to be part of the event.
In the words of Wale Okoya ,the Spokesperson for the organizers, the event is designed to rediscover the cultural and traditional roots of Yoruba people (both in vogue and those dying) as captured on celluloid films and evergreen music of yesteryears. It also aims to encourage the traditional practices of Yoruba people, especially among young people who are adopting foreign culture and practices to the detriment of the Yoruba culture.

Endorsed by the Yoruba Video Films Producers/Marketers Association of Nigeria (YOVIFPAN) and Theatre Arts and Movie Practitioners of Nigeria (TAMPAN), the YORUBA MUSIC & FILM FAIR, to be organized every year, will provide a platform for producers, directors and marketers of Yoruba films and music to showcase their works and review latest developments in the film and music industry with a view to raise the standards of movie and music production in Nigeria.
