"As the federal capital of Nigeria, Abuja is an ordered, purpose built place, meaning that when it comes to the creative industries, the city is generally overlooked in favour of Lagos. But times are changing as a small but growing band of artists and entrepreneurs are working hard to develop a new, alternative scene. Thanks to co-creative hubs such as Bantu Studio, co-founded by brothers Terna and Tay Iwar, immersive music events organised by Root n Raw and a cluster of other initiatives, hot spots and happenings, Abuja is beginning to define it’s own unconventional cultural identity".
