Co-Creation Hub (CcHUB), Africa’s leading innovation and creative economy hub, hosted its year-end brand awareness brunch on Saturday, November 29 at the CEP Entertainment Hub in Lagos. The invitation-only meeting brought together policymakers, ecosystem facilitators, investors, development partners, media leaders and creatives to celebrate a year of impact in education, health and the creative industries.
Throughout the morning, guests participated in curated exhibits showcasing some of CcHUB’s most important work in 2025, including its incubation programs that support early-stage companies, the Entertainment & Media Hubs Champions Project that promotes gender equitable storytelling, and a faith-based creative program that explores values-driven innovation. These initiatives, along with open access to CcHUB facilities and training opportunities such as gender-equitable storytelling courses, have empowered creatives and entrepreneurs to build sustainable careers, collaborate across sectors and tell more inclusive African stories. In her remarks, CEO Ojoma Ochai reflected on the year’s journey, noting that CcHUB’s work is ultimately about people and possibilities, “creating spaces where ideas can grow, voices can be heard and innovation can translate into real impact for communities across Africa.”
As the year draws to a close, the brunch served not only as a celebration but also as a reaffirmation of CcHUB’s commitment to the creatives and innovators of Nigeria and the continent. With a growing pan-African footprint, deeper partnerships and a renewed focus on inclusive and solutions-driven storytelling, CcHUB signaled its intention to continue investing in the people, platforms and ideas that shape Africa’s future, ensuring that the stories told about the continent are as bold, diverse and transformative as the communities they represent.
The event brought together an influential mix of voices including Ojoma Ochai, Joke Silva, Biodun Stephen, MI Abaga and other respected figures in film, music and storytelling. Their presence reinforced the importance of the community in sustaining creative excellence and amplifying African voices locally and globally. Conversations throughout the evening explored how inclusive storytelling can reshape representation, challenge biases and more accurately reflect the complexity of African lives.
