The producer, Grace Ofure Ibhakhomu, spoke passionately about the inspiration behind the film, rooted in her commitment to promoting financial literacy and wealth creation.
“I recently started a wealth creation academy and looked around to see if there were similar institutions globally,” she said during an interview. “What I discovered is that wealth is hidden from the general crowd, and many people, especially Africans, do not read books.
