The show sponsored by Access Bank will hold on Sunday, December 15, 2019 at Eko Atlantic City, Lagos.

Speaking about BAFEST, group head communications and external affairs at Access Bank Plc, Amaechi Okobi, said:

“For us Africans, music, art, film and fashion are much more than the lyrics, paint, stories and fabrics, they’re all forms of showcasing our culture, its richness, as well as its diversity. They are depictions of our style and identity.

“Last year, at BAFEST 2018, we had a fantastic time bringing together some of the most talented human beings on the continent. It was an opportunity to showcase these superb minds to the world and this year’s edition will be no exception.

“We, at Access Bank, have over the past few years continued to highlight the best Africa has to offer with our string of event partnerships such as the Access Bank Lagos City Marathon, Art X Lagos and the African International Film Festival. With these events and with BAFEST we’re aiming at rewriting the African narrative of negativity while positioning the best the continent has to offer.”

According to Okobi, BAFEST is free for Access Bank account owners.
