A first of its kind in Nigeria and a new central point for budding game studios.

The space which is the initiative of Vortex Gaming released a statement via their founder – Somto Ajuluchukwu

This is a tremendous mile stone in not only the growth and positioning of Vortex Corp. but the industry at large as it stands as a testament to the fact that our industry is at the stage where it’s worth investing in by the players themselves, we are worth it and it’s our sole responsibility to develop our industry. I believe the true Victory of our industry goes beyond the out reach of foreign corporations (which is integral non the less) but the independent growth within our local markets. We are excited on the impact this space would make to our emerging industry and happy to create value based partnerships that can grow our ecosystem of comcis, animation and interactive media.
