CANEX WKND 2026, which opened Thursday at the Professor Wole Soyinka Arts Theatre in Lagos, continues tonight with a concert featuring Davido, Fally Ipupa, Flavour, Cali-Ber Tha Grime, Sabrina Francis and DJ duo Wanni X Handi. The four-day gathering, themed “One People, United in Culture, Creating for the World”, aims to advance trade and investment across Africa’s creative economy. At the opening, Vice-President Kassim Shettima praised Afreximbank’s commitment to invest $2 billion in Africa’s creative industries by 2027. He recalled the theatre’s role in FESTAC ’77 and said the creative industry is economic infrastructure, not just entertainment.
