Ahead of the Lineage of Masters’ tour of the ongoing Lagos Pop-Up Museum this weekend, Ecobank Nigeria has reiterated its commitment to social impact, youth empowerment, and pan-African creativity.
Ecobank has been at the forefront of promoting African art and culture through exhibitions, pop-up museums, and collaborations with leading institutions.
The Lagos Pop-Up Museum, implemented in partnership with Yaba College of Technology, provides a dynamic platform for emerging and established artists to showcase their work, while offering the public an immersive experience in African artistic heritage.
On Saturday, November 22, 2025, the Ecobank Pan African Centre (EPAC) will host the Lineage of Masters’ tour as part of the exhibition’s Reminisce Day activities.
A major highlight of the museum tour is the participation of the Lineage of Masters, a collective of contemporary Nigerian artists deeply influenced by the legendary Yusuf Grillo. These artists continue to uphold and expand Grillo’s legacy through distinctive creative expressions across diverse media.
Artists exhibiting at the event include Kunle Adeyemi, Ato Arinze, Duke Asidere, Adeola Balogun, Samuel Ebohon, and Lara Ige-Jacks. Other members of the group expected at the tour are Ben Nwosa, Edosa Ogiugo, Lekan Onabanjo, Odun Orimolade, Sam Ovraiti, and Kehinde Sanwo.
“Our commitment to social impact, youth empowerment, and Pan-African creativity remains unwavering.
“We will continue to leverage our platforms, partnerships, and resources to positively shape lives and support the next generation of African leaders and creators,” the Head of SME at Ecobank Nigeria, Mrs Omoboye Odu, stated.
In recent months, the bank has hosted and supported several high-profile cultural exhibitions, which Mrs said align with the lender’s broader mission to promote sustainable development and champion Africa’s cultural and economic renaissance.
“Our investments in the creative sector, youth development, and community impact projects are expressions of our belief in Africa’s future,” she added
