About the Founder
Babawande Femi founded the organisation in January 2004 to function as a Non-profit/Non Governmental Organisation (NGO) whose focus shall be to develop the creativity and acceptability of young Nigerian landscape/wild-life painters to meet the international standards and to channel their skills to the direction of the environment (protection, awareness and conservation). His vision also extends to philantrophy and fund-raising in the execution of these causes.

Babawande Femi started his journey on the environment in 1992 when he won the Statoil/NCF National Art Competition Honours. He has since been a keen follower of developments on the environment. At the moment, he is a cartoon journalist with Daily Independent, Lagos Nigeria where he features his widely accepted nature cartoon strip, Froggie Viewpoint.

Femi holds a B.A. Edu (Painting) from the department of Educational Technology (DET), faculty of education of the prestigious Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile Ife, Nigeria.

The Team
The Nigerian Painting Tour (NPT) operates a policy of partnership with other stakeholders on the environment.

Schools' environment initiative clubs, NGOs with focus on the environment and the State Ministries of Arts and Culture/ Tourism/Environment of all the states where the tour takes us shall be cardinal partners in progress.

When it comes to the issue of the environment, everyone is a stakeholder.
