Our History<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

KAP Hub began as an idea that was conceptualized a decade ago by the founder, Kunle Afolayan. In July 2005, the parent company, Golden Effects Services Limited<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong> was incorporated as a production house (Golden Effects Pictures) involved in the production of films, documentaries, television commercials, music videos, film equipment rentals, and film consultations, before its expansion into subsidiary brands offering services under the name KAP Hub. <\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the 10th of October, 2020 KAP Hub was appraised by the French ambassador to Nigeria, J\u00e9r\u00f4me Pasquier <\/span>as well as the Consul general and the French delegates, for its enabling environment for art, culture, the entertainment industry, and tourism. The concept for the hub’s structure was a design visualized by Afolayan. The walls are a visual representation of the productions released under Golden Effects Pictures and KAP Motion Pictures. These wall visual representations are of two variants; The set prints and the production prints.<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

On the 12th of October, 2020 the hub was inspected by the special adviser to the Lagos State governor on tourism, art and culture; Mr Solomon Bonu<\/span>, and the CEO of Culturatti, Idris Aregbe. In the same month, the Director General of the National Film and Video censors Board (NFVCB), Alhaji Adedayo Thomas surveyed the facility. The feedback from both visits was of a positive nature and it centered on the hubs strong root in the cultural heritage and creative space <\/strong><\/strong><\/strong>in Nigeria.<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

In May 2021, the Director-General of the Centre for Black and African Arts & Civilization (CBAAC), Olubunmi Ayobami Amao toured the Hub.
