With much anticipation, I am pleased to write this:
Air
France brand ambassador and award winning director of hit movies including ‘October 1′, Kunle Afolayan, has
unveiled the cast and crew of his highly anticipated new film, The
CEO. Afolayan
brushed aside recent rough experiences with pirates to become the face of Air
France in Nigeria; and continued his winning streak by unveiling the cast and
crew of his new project at a well-attended media parley, held at the Inagbe
Beach Resort in Lagos.
Grammy
award-winning singer, Angelique Kidjo, takes the lead and will feature
alongside other top stars including: Kemi Lala-Akindoju (Nigeria), Fatim
Layachi (Morocco), Aurelie Elia (Cote d’Voire), Wale Ojo (Nigeria), Jimmy
Jean-Louis (Haiti/US), Nicholas Panagiotopoulos and Peter King (Kenya).
The
event was attended by veteran directors including Tunde Kelani, Tade Ogidan and
Lola Maja. Observers at the unveiling commended Afolayan’s giant stride in
bringing talents from several African countries together, in the first
arrangement of its kind. Many noted that the move is a way of appreciating the
rich cultures and values available across Africa. See more photos.

SYNOPSIS
The CEO tells the story of TransWire Communications, a
global phone network with major operations in Nigeria. The Global Chairman has
decided to send five nominees among his top-level staff on a Leadership course
in order to find the new CEO of Nigeria, with unexpected consequences.
According
to Afolayan, one major aim of the movie is to break boundaries and make inroads
into distribution channels in several countries on the continent, and as such
it is African United for the upcoming film.
The CEO is supported by Adron Homes and Properties, Africa
Magic and Inagbe Resort; and is backed by an official partnership with Air
France.
