Comic Con Ibadan announced a significant transformation in the late hours of Sunday, 19 May, 2025, as organisers unveiled their ambitious plans set to elevate the event to new heights. The announcement follows the Synergy 2025 press release, which outlined key strategies for growth and development within Nigeria's burgeoning comic and entertainment scene.

Comic Con Ibadan, the acclaimed geek event of West Africa's largest city, for two years and counting, has been a beacon for Afrocentric comics, animation, and the ever-growing community of anime and manga fans in the city of Ibadan. Now, they are teaming up with Nexal Gaming Company, a powerhouse in the African gaming and esports scene, renowned for organising tournaments, fostering communities, and driving marketing initiatives.

Building on the success of previous years, this strategic collaboration will see the highly anticipated Comic Con Ibadan 2025 take place on the 14th of June, 2025, at the prestigious Trenchard Hall, University of Ibadan, in collaboration with the University of Ibadan's edition of the Campus Clutch Engy tournament, which will also serve as the esports component of the university's SEALS Cup. All these thrilling activities will fall under the banner of SYNERGY 2025.

Organisers from both Comic Con Ibadan and Nexal Gaming Company are enthusiastic about the amplified experience this collaboration will deliver. By doubling their efforts, they aim to create a truly memorable event for their respective communities and newcomers alike. Further details about the exciting lineup and activities planned for Synergy 2025 will be released in due course.

"We are incredibly excited about the future of Comic Con Ibadan," said a representative from the organising committee. "Our goal is to create an immersive and unforgettable experience for fans, while also promoting the growth of the creative industry in Nigeria."

Adding to the excitement, the Oyo State government, through the Ministry of Youth and Sports, is proudly sponsoring this monumental event, recognising its cultural and community significance. The organisers have also expressed their gratitude to their community members, sponsors, exhibitors, and collaborators for their continued support.

Synergy 2025 is poised to be an unmissable celebration of all things geek, promising a day packed with comics, gaming action, anime appreciation, and a vibrant community spirit.
