Nollywood actor Jide Kene Achufusi, popularly known as Swanky JKA, has officially ventured into film production with the launch of his debut TV series, City of Dreams.

Achufusi, who gained national acclaim for his breakout role in Living in Bondage: Breaking Free, is taking on a new challenge. This time behind the camera as the executive producer of a series designed to showcase the culture, creativity, and modern urban life of Enugu, his home state.

The City of Dreams project has been described as a “love letter to Enugu.” Still in early development, the series will be shot at locations across various parts of Enugu, emphasising the state’s architectural beauty, youthful energy, and entrepreneurial spirit.
