On his recent visit to Lagos, Nigeria on April 29, Jermaine Jackson – one of the famous music group, Jackson5 and brother to late music icon, Michael Jackson – revealed the music family’s plan to establish a musical academy in Lagos to raise global talents out of Nigeria.
Jermaine, while on a courtesy visit to the Lagos State Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Steve Ayorinde at the state government secretariat in Ikeja, Lagos, said a plan to construct the Jackson Academy Performing Art School in the state is in the works.
‘There is a lot of great talents here and we want to use our 50 years of experience in being in the business to teach the arts. We want to construct the Jackson Academy Performing Art School here.‘
‘It will have a curriculum and also will teach music, directing, film, lightening, producing, dancing and so on. We want to get the talents here ready for the global market. I do believe that the drums and the beat started from here,’ he said.
The former Jackson 5 member was in Nigeria to mark the Jackson Golden Jubilee in a stage concert that held on Saturday April 30, 2016.
