It has been a week of reflection and celebration
for the management and staff of Lagos-based production outfit, AK Media. The
company that produced major TV drama series that include Face to Face,
Family Ties and Nowhere to be Found has clocked 10, with its
Chief Executive Officer, Chief Benson Akindeju, saying it has been a rewarding
journey.
While the company has organised a prayer session
and visited an orphanage with gifts, the high point of the anniversary will
come up on
Friday (today), with the unveiling of a sitcom. Akindeju adds that
the success of Face to Face inspired the other series.
But the outfit further diversified when it
launched Oyin Momo, a magazine programme on DSTV, where it interviews
top Yoruba actors and other entertainers. Also, it later introduced some
musical programmes, including More Musiq. The CEO says the impact it has made
in the industry is obvious.
He says, “We used to have our office at Ketu, in
a room-and-parlour rented apartment in a shopping complex . Now to the glory of
God, AK MEDIA has a befitting office in Maryland.”
He adds that the company is unveiling a new
production tiled ‘Liberty Villa’, a sitcom “that characterises modern-day
happenings within the family.”
At a gala night coming up on Friday, AK Media
will give awards to some stakeholders.
