The Lagos State government has appointed PlotWeaver as Technology Partner for the Lagos 2025 Youth Storytelling Challenge.
The endorsement came after a thorough evaluation and review of PlotWeaver’s proposal to serve as technology partner to the competition by the Lagos State Films and Videos Censorship Board (LSFVCB).
In its letter of approval to PlotWeaver signed by LSFVCB’s Executive Secretary, Agbaminoja Adebukola, the board said PlotWeaver’s proposal was found to be credible.
“Sequel to your proposal to provide technology partner for the Lagos State Youth Storytelling Challenge 2025, we write to notify you that the proposal has been found credible for the agency’s endorsement.
After a thorough evaluation, we recognise Plotweaver’s ability to provide a digital platform to engage over 200,000 students across Lagos State’s six educational districts,” Adebukola said in a letter addressed to Olumuyiwa Ojo, PlotWeaver’s Chief Partnership Officer (CPO).
The partnership between the Lagos State Films and Videos Censorship Board and PlotWeaver marks a significant step in the state’s quest to set a new standard in creative education in Nigeria by investing in her youths.
Terms of the deal include the delivery of a digital platform, real-time analytics, a post-event archive, and opportunities by PlotWeaver to help showcase the challenge internationally and promote films and video works — especially those that educate and celebrate values and culture. PlotWeaver is also expected to seek sponsorship from other organisations toward the actualisation of the project.
Meanwhile, the Lagos State government, through the state Films and Videos Censorship Board (LSFVCB), will provide regulatory support, ensure content compliance, and widely promote the initiative. The challenge includes a robust prize structure, featuring full production of the winning script, scholarships, mentorship, and media exposure.
Speaking on the development, PlotWeaver’s CPO, Olumuyiwa Ojo, said the firm plans to extend the gesture to other states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) after the Lagos event is concluded.
Oluwole Fagbohun, CEO of PlotWeaver, added:
“At PlotWeaver, we believe storytelling is a superpower. This partnership gives hundreds of thousands of young people in Lagos a chance to discover their voices, sharpen their creativity, and showcase their brilliance to the world. We’re honoured to support the state’s vision for youth development through purposeful technology.”
