Wema Bank, Nigeria’s most innovative bank, and creators platform, Selar are collaborating to empower creatives and bridge the existing knowledge gap in the African creative space.
According to the partners in a statement released on Wednesday, the partnership will result in a power-packed webinar titled “The Digital Economy and Future of Work” targeted at helping Africans, especially Nigerian creators to maximise their potential and leverage available resources to transform their creativity into sustainable streams of income.
The webinar which holds tomorrow, Friday, September 29 will illuminate the challenges and prospects that creators encounter as they navigate the terrain and offer insights into effectively tapping into its potential.
According to a survey conducted by Selar, one in every four creators is an employer, a testament to the potential for creators not only to earn but to create job opportunities, thus bolstering the African Creator Economy as a stable and lucrative source of income, which in turn reduces unemployment rates in Africa.
