As the human resources manager at Filmhouse Cinemas, one of Nigeria’s two leading cinema chains, Ozioma Sammie-Okposo has a key role in an exciting emerging market. For three consecutive years, the West African territory has experienced double-digit admissions growth—a fact that didn’t go unnoticed by NATO, which named Nigeria the 2019 Emerging Market Spotlight Award winner. That growth is expected to continue; per Moses Babatope, managing director of Filmhouse affiliate FilmOne, the Nigerian market could potentially grow from their current count of approximately 200 screens to 5,000 over the next decade.
