The Meetinghas enjoyed rave review and commendation from media, politicos, entertainers and even the president of Nigeria.

“This movie will be much talked about in our country and our continent in the weeks ahead” said President Goodluck Jonathan.

The romantic comedy features a mix of emerging stars and industry superstars including the delectable Rita Dominic, Tinsel star, Linda Ejiofor, Femi Jacobs and experienced thespian, Jide Kosoko.

The Meeting, directed by Mildred Okwo, produced by Rita Dominic and Mildred Okwo and superbly written by Tunde Babalola was shot in Abuja and Lagos respectively. The story follows the trials of an uptight Lagos-based corporate executive Makinde Esho (Femi Jacobs), who flies into Abuja, the capital city for a few hours, having been dispatched by his communications firm, Techmast, to secure a government authorization to build a mast sub-station from the Honourable Minister of Land Resources and Environment. There is a lot riding on this government authorization, as it will save his firm from imminent liquidation, and the Economic Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). Mr. Esho wants only two things, keep his boss (Jide Kosoko) happy by getting the authorization from the Minister and keep his only daughter Kikelomo happy by attending her graduation ceremony at the University of Lagos.

Two very simple tasks for a professional like Mr. Esho, but watch and see what doing business in Abuja can do to you.

The movie, which brings together a stellar cast of Nollywood stars, addresses an array of contemporary issues, audiences are sure to identify with from love to African time, to the trials of tackling officials and manoeuvering red tape.
