The launch event, held at ALX Nigeria’s flagship hub in Costain, Lagos, welcomed industry insiders, creators, and community leaders to witness a bold step toward inclusivity in the digital economy.
With CTL, ALX is unlocking new pathways for graphic designers, content creators, music producers, and storytellers, ensuring that African creatives are not only included in the tech revolution but are leading it.
