The programme, organised through his Euphoria 360 Academy, is scheduled to run from October 29 to 31, 2026, at the Euphoria 360 Hub in Oregun, Ikeja, Lagos.

Adebayo announced the initiative in a post on X on Thursday, October 8, shortly after the commissioning of his production facility, explaining that the academy was established to create opportunities for emerging talents in the entertainment industry.

In a video accompanying the announcement, the actor expressed gratitude to those who celebrated the opening of the facility and outlined his commitment to supporting the next generation of filmmakers.

“I believe strongly that we have a responsibility to create opportunities for the people coming after us,” Adebayo said.

According to the filmmaker, the masterclass will accommodate only 30 participants, with places allocated on a first-come, first-served basis to successful applicants.

Interested creatives are required to complete a registration form detailing their areas of interest, previous experience and availability to attend the training physically.

Although participation is free, applicants must be available to attend the programme at the Lagos facility.

Emphasising the limited number of spaces, Adebayo encouraged aspiring filmmakers to take advantage of the opportunity.

“The masterclass is restricted to the first 30 successful registrations. So if you love filmmaking, this is an opportunity for you,” he said.

The programme is expected to cover several aspects of filmmaking, including acting, directing, video editing, sound design and film scoring, giving participants exposure to different creative and technical roles involved in producing films.

The masterclass will take place at the Euphoria 360 Hub, the headquarters of Euphoria360 Media Limited, Adebayo’s media company.

The facility was commissioned on October 6, 2026, by Lagos State Deputy Governor Dr Obafemi Hamzat.

It features cinema-grade production studios, post-production suites equipped with Dolby Atmos sound technology, a Foley studio, event spaces and the Euphoria 360 Academy.

These facilities are designed to support different stages of production, from recording and sound creation to editing and post-production.

Nigerian music star Davido had reportedly used the facility to shoot the music video for his song B4 B4 before its official commissioning.

The opening ceremony also attracted prominent personalities from the entertainment industry and featured an emotional moment involving Adebayo’s father, veteran actor Adebayo Salami, popularly known as Oga Bello.

Beyond the academy initiative, Adebayo has offered a glimpse into a forthcoming film project inspired by the reception of his previous movie, Jagun Jagun.

According to the filmmaker, the word “WOW” appeared prominently in reactions to the film, inspiring the idea for another production that could carry the same title.

He suggested that WOW could stand for War of Warriors, expressing enthusiasm about the proposed project.

“Femi, mo ngbo. Ise ya, War of Warriors. Let’s GO!!” he declared.

While further details about the project were not provided in the announcement, the comments have offered an early indication of a possible new production from the filmmaker.

Adebayo’s announcement has attracted encouraging reactions from social media users, several of whom expressed gratitude for the opportunity and hope of securing one of the available places.

Some aspiring actors and filmmakers said they had applied, while others praised the actor for creating opportunities for emerging talents.

The initiative comes as the Euphoria 360 Hub begins operations as a production facility and training centre, potentially giving selected participants access to industry knowledge and professional filmmaking resources.
