EMY Organisers Make Case for African Heroes

The organisers of EMY Africa Awards, has stressed the need to celebrate great achievers and heroes of the society for the purpose of continental and national development. 

Founder of the award, Mr. Kojo Soboh while speaking ahead of the 8th edition of the award at a press conference in Lagos, recently explained that recognition of achievements and impacts have proven to be a source of inspiration to the despair and delinquents in the society. 

Besides, Soboh remarked that celebrating exploits can always be relied on to inspire much more better performance from the celebrated, while giving room for growth. 

He said that apart from the proper EMY award holding in Lagos by October, the organisers are equally hosting a soiree to further celebrate past Nigerian  EMY awardees and present nominees  which included popular actors, Tobi Bakre and Chidi Mokeme. 

“EMY Africa Awards is the catalyst that inspires greatness in all of us. We celebrate greatness to inspire greatness. Representation matters when we celebrate successful Africans. It is more relatable and gives youths the permission to dream, dare and do. The awards and its complementary events have been carefully designed to celebrate great achievements to inspire greatness in the youth’’, he said.
