Alumni described the launch as a significant step toward a more inclusive and empowered community.

Chinedu Isagbah, Programs Manager for Lagos State, added that continuous alumni engagement strengthens the creative economy: “ÀRÌRÀ underscores the importance of learning, mentorship, and collaboration. This gathering contributes meaningfully to the professional and cultural ecosystem TAFTA has nurtured.”
With more than 57,000 young creatives trained and over 32,000 employed across the country, TAFTA continues to act as a catalyst for skills development and industry empowerment.
ÀRÌRÀ 2025 served as both a celebration of alumni accomplishments and a reaffirmation of the academy’s commitment to maintaining a vibrant and supportive network.
