CANEX WKND’s Friday programme in Lagos includes a conversation with actress Uzo Aduba, alongside discussions about creative technology and sporting careers. The organiser’s current session page schedules Aduba for 4pm to 4.45pm West Africa Time on 6 November. Adefemi Akinsanya of CNN is listed as moderator. These are planned appearances; this morning’s report does not claim that the sessions have already happened.
The four-day event runs from 5 to 8 November at the Wole Soyinka Centre for Cultural and Creative Arts, also known as the National Theatre. Afreximbank organises the Creative Africa Nexus gathering. The venue’s official listing describes a programme spanning exhibitions, masterclasses, fashion, music, film and business networking, bringing several creative professions into the same Lagos setting.
Before Aduba’s session, the published programme schedules a discussion on developing sustainable careers for African sporting talent from 1pm to 1.50pm. Its listed participants include Basketball Africa League president Amadou Gallo Fall, Integral managing director Deolu Lamikanra and What Media Group chief executive Chichi Nwoko. Mimi Fawaz is listed as moderator. A scheduled discussion is not a recruitment offer or a promise of a playing contract.
A separate technology-and-innovation conversation is listed for 2.05pm to 2.55pm. The current page names Ceeit co-founder Edward Magongorere and Wakatoon chief executive Pierrick Chabi, with Ishango Investment founder and chief executive Emery Rubagenga moderating. Those details indicate who is expected to speak; they do not establish that new products, investment deals or training places will be announced.
For Nigerian filmmakers, artists and other creative workers, the programme offers specific sessions to investigate rather than a single general invitation to “network”. A useful visit starts with matching the discussion to a concrete question about your work. The organiser lists the sessions in English. Attendance conditions and access to individual activities should be checked separately; we have not verified universal free admission.
What it means for you: recheck the live session page, venue room and registration requirements before leaving home. All times above are WAT, the time used in Nigeria. Older search listings showed a different time for Aduba’s conversation; the current page checked for this report says 4pm. Keep the organiser’s programme as your reference if timings change again.
