Professor Yirenkyi called on Mills Media to partner with IFT to establish an Animation studio facility, which would help nurture talents and provide hands-on experience for students.

Marian Mantey proposed a support system in terms of equipment and internship opportunities for Animation students. Jesse Sunkwa-Mills, CEO of Mills Media, expressed appreciation for the recognition and assured the IFT management of future collaborations.

Samira Yakubu, CEO of Samis Media, was also commended for her dedication and support for IFT during the graduation ceremony.

Marian Mantey discussed the possibility of creating a foundation to support best students. Samira Yakubu acknowledged the importance of practical experience in the creative industry and expressed her willingness to provide opportunities for good students who are humble and willing to learn. "In the creative industry, we grow by constant practice and experience. I am ready to give opportunities to good students who are humble and willing to learn", she said.

The thank-you tour is a testament to UniMAC IFT's commitment to building strong relationships with media organizations and industry stakeholders. The proposed partnerships and collaborations are expected to provide opportunities for students to gain practical experience, develop their skills, and become competitive in the industry.
