The founder and CEO of Best man Games, Nimi Akinkugbe, recounted Best man Games creative and entrepreneurial journey and the bold steps taken to produce its first proprietary board game.
She said: “Best man Games first came into our collective pop-culture consciousness, with the first African city version of Hasbro’s world famous Monopoly board game five years ago. But now, the time has come to showcase what was possible from a wholly Nigerian perspective.”
She explained that the board game was entirely manufactured in Nigeria, with each piece created using a unique and cutting-edge three-D printing technology.
Panel of business and Christian leaders shed more light on the themes around the Bible Game, and expressed concerns regarding eroding family values, the role of mothers in raising well-balanced children, as well as the church’s role in contemporary marketplace.
