Kugali and Disney - Iwaju

Kugali media have been creating visual content as comics and animation for some time. I first came across them through one of the founders Tolu Olowofoyeku a comic book and animation enthusiast and strong proponent for African content whom I met at West African Game Expo. Many years later we met again at Lagos ComiCon, where Kugali was selling its different comic book publications with successful kickstarter projects promoting pan-African comic artists. It therefore came as no surprise to hear that they recently secured a collaboration with Disney to develop an animated series Iwaju. The 'long-format' science-fiction series is based in a futuristic Lagos.
