Hadizat Ibrahim, a stellar producer and founder of March 31 Media (M31M), celebrated a remarkable milestone of two decades in the media industry at Ikeja, Lagos, Nigeria, on July 30th, 2024. During this celebration, she launched an innovative production course to nurture the next generation of media professionals.
The event, which drew an impressive gathering of industry stakeholders, past trainees, and aspiring media enthusiasts, was evidence of Hadizat’s enduring influence and commitment to fostering talent in the media.

She provides opportunities for her trainees to express themselves naturally and strive for excellence because she believes there is no limit to what you can do if you commit yourself to it. She often says, “There’s more to you, challenge yourself to be more.”
The new production course, launched at the event, aims to build on this legacy of success. It features a comprehensive curriculum that covers the fundamentals of production, from drafting ideas to post-production processes. It’s a self-development course that fuels curiosity.
