The production is expected to feature a host of talented and accomplished actors, including prominent artists of Ekiti descent, further celebrating the state’s rich heritage and contributions to Nigerian history.

Lateef Adedimeji’s decision to helm this project underscores his dedication to storytelling that honors Nigerian history and culture.
