Topside strongly believes DJs are the heartbeat of any club.
His collaborations with talented DJs and entertainers have helped shape unforgettable experiences and maintain high energy levels in his brand.
ADMIN: More Than Just a Club
His new lounge, ADMIN, represents leadership, control, and vision.
The name comes from his background in Public Administration .. symbolizing someone in charge, someone building structure.
Through ADMIN, he aims to:
- Create job opportunities
- Empower entertainers
- Elevate Ibadan nightlife
The Future of Ibadan Entertainment
Dr. Topside believes Ibadan can compete on a bigger level if:
- Creatives innovate
