The Performing Musicians Employers Association of Nigeria (PMAN) has announced a groundbreaking partnership with Brazilian investor, Fabio Pavan, whose visionary investment marks a historic milestone for Nigeria’s creative and economic landscape. The partnership was solidified following extensive discussions spanning several months between Pavan and PMAN President, Pretty Okafor, culminating in his and Tope Onifade, a renowned international business consultant visit to Nigeria. It signifies a new era of growth for PMAN and the broader Nigeria creative industry.
The PMAN President led this strategic negotiation with a team that included Onifade, PMAN’s legal counsel Henrie Eduozor, Esq., veteran musician and businessman Daniel Wilson, architect and CEO of SWC Ltd Felix Arome (representing Olusco Heritage & Investment Ltd), PMAN Governor of the Federal Capital Territory, Sydney Jack Sparrow, and other esteemed collaborators. The development underscores PMAN’s relentless commitment to advancing Nigeria’s creative industry and establishing strong, sustainable, and mutually beneficial international partnerships.
It is set to fuel the long-awaited Abuja project, expediting its execution and setting the stage for a broader trade relationship between Nigeria and Brazil. The pivotal meeting began at Transcorp Hilton, Abuja, and proceeded to PMAN’s property in Kukwaba District, where the delegation celebrated a significant funding arrangement. According to Okafor, “This partnership is a strong statement and a testament to PMAN’s commitment to sustainable development and a brighter future for the Nigerian creative industry.
It showcases our ability to attract substantial international investment, fostering a collaborative trade relationship that will positively impact Nigeria’s economy and cultural footprint on the global stage.” He noted that PMAN is eager to embark on this transformative journey alongside our Brazilian partners and invites the Nigerian and international communities to watch as we bring our vision to life. “PMAN remains committed to propelling Nigerian music and creative arts to unprecedented heights and ensuring our industry stands as a model of innovation, cultural pride, and economic strength,” Okafor added.
