Recall that earlier today, Afro pop star, Davido took to Twitter to reveal that he was denied approval to use Eko Atlantic as his December 27th concert venue (read here).
The Management of the Mega city has debunked the accusations. Read Eko Atlantic City’s Response to Davido’s Allegations below.
It has been brought to our attention that we have allegedly denied the musician Davido’s request to use Eko Atlantic City for his upcoming concert.
We received this request on November 8 and on November 9 we responded to the request asking for more clarification about the event on November 9. We are yet to receive the requested information so, the notion that we declined his request is false. To imply that we are politically motivated is false.
Some of the additional information requested was pertaining to security provisions and Eko Atlantic City is not an event center and rather a city with existing residents and businesses. In light of this, we have strict rules and regulations when it comes to events and activities within the city, which requires internal process.
Eko Atlantic City takes the safety and security of the visitors to the city very seriously. We expect the same safety and security measures from event organizers who hold events in Eko Atlantic City. Any event within the city requires a proper level of planning, safety, and security from event organizers.
As a final note, Davido and some upcoming artists shot a video in Eko Atlantic earlier this year, which we welcomed, as we believe in the development of our entertainment industry in Nigeria as seen on our social media pages.
