According to movie producer and director, Mildred Okwo, “It is a truly Nigerian story that cuts across borders. Anybody anywhere in the world will find something about this film to like. We are not only introducing upcoming stars in Femi Jacobs and Linda Ejiofor, but we are also showcasing a different and dynamic Rita Dominic.”

Synopsis

On a Monday morning, Makinde Esho (Femi Jacobs), a corporate executive at Techmast Nigeria Limited, flies into Abuja for an important 9:30am meeting with the Honourable Minister of Land Resources. Esho’s mission is to secure government authorisation to build a mast sub-station. He intends to return to Lagos on the afternoon flight. Upon arriving Abuja, Makinde is forced to give a young girl Ejura (Linda Ejiofor) a ride into town.

There is a lot riding on the authorisation, as it will save his company from bankruptcy. The Managing Director of Techmast (Jide Kosoko) is on Makinde’s case to get it, while his only daughter (Kehinde Bankole) wants him to finish quickly and return to Lagos in time for her graduation from the University of Lagos.

Makinde is ignorant of how difficult it would be to see the minister until he meets Clara (Rita Dominic), the impenetrable receptionist, and a cast of other characters in the minister’s reception room. Makinde’s appointment is continually bumped off by a series of incidents, some inadvertent and others orchestrated by the minister’s powerful receptionist.

Between Ejura, Clara the receptionist, the Techmast MD, and Kikelomo, it remains to be seen if Makinde can complete his task and return to Lagos.
