Abuja is set to host a major gathering of Nigeria’s media proprietors, content creators and nation builders as the Association of Proprietors of Private Media Establishment of Nigeria (APPMEN) holds its Aso APPMEN/Content Creators 1-Day Conference 2026 on Thursday, September 24.
The conference, themed “Voice, Vision, Purpose”, will take place at the AIG Aishatu Abubakar Baju Hall, VCN, beside the TETFUND Headquarters, Maitama, Abuja.
A key focus of the conference is the practical steps content creators can take to recover funds owed by major global digital platforms and protect their earnings.
APPMEN National Coordinator, Chief Precious Enebuse, said the conference is designed to move creators beyond complaints and provide practical solutions to persistent monetisation challenges.
“For years, Nigerian creators have powered global platforms with billions of views, yet many go unpaid due to policy issues, documentation errors and lack of support,” Enebuse said.
He added that the conference would provide creators with practical tools, contacts and pathways to address outstanding payments and strengthen their digital businesses.
One of the major highlights will be the formal investiture of APPMEN’s Council of Patrons and inauguration of its National Advisory Council.
Former Cross River State Governor, Senator Liyel Imoke, CON, is expected to be invested as Chairman of the Council of Patrons.
Also to be invested are His Royal Highness, Barr. Joel Sabo Aninge, PhD, MFR, Odyong Nyankpa II, as Grand Patron, and His Royal Highness, Alh. Baba Umar Faruq II, CFR, Emir of Katagum, as National Patron.
The National Advisory Council, chaired by development expert Dr Otive Igbuzor, PhD, will also be inaugurated at the event.
Another major attraction will be the unveiling of 25 distinguished Nigerians as “The Nigeria We Want Ambassadors”.
According to APPMEN, the initiative recognises Nigerians considered to have demonstrated integrity, leadership and commitment to national development.
The conference is expected to attract content creators, influencers, skit makers, comedians, journalists, bloggers, media owners and digital entrepreneurs from across the country.
Among the invited dignitaries are PANDEF National Chairman, Amb. Dr Godknows Boladei Igali, OON, as Chairman of Occasion; Minister of Information and National Orientation, Alhaji Mohammed Idris, as Chief Guest of Honour; and NCC Executive Vice Chairman/CEO, Dr Aminu Maida, as Special Guest of Honour.
The Royal Father of the Day is His Royal Majesty Igwe Denis Okafor Ezeaniokaosisi II of Ovuria Kingdom.
The conference is scheduled to begin at 9:00am, with organisers urging participants to arrive early because of limited seating capacity.
