The entertainment value this would offer to families in Lagos and the neighbouring states ensures that family bonds get stronger in an atmosphere saturated with love and warmth. The NTDA remains committed towards ensuring that Nigerians are able to enjoy the opportunities that Kultureland offers as it seeks to grow the tourism potential of the nation.”
Dr. Bada Akintunde-Johnson, the Country Manager, Paramount, also lent his voice to the collaboration with Kultureland adding that “Paramount, through its youth, kids and family channel brands, MTV Base and Nickelodeon respectively, are excited at the collaboration with Kultureland to create unforgettable and exciting experiences for many of our fans, viewers and friends during the festive season.

At Kultureland 2023, we’ll bring to life and unleash the power of content that our brands have been synonymous with.”
