people of the oil-rich Rivers State play host to celebrities,
high society personalities, business leaders, film makers
and allied professionals
from Africa and around the
world.
The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai
Mohammed will lead the Federal Government delegation
to the most prestigious and respected Pan-African
awards designed to celebrate and recognise practitioners
in the motion picture industry.
The 2016 African Movie Academy Awards will have
Ghana Musician, Jon Germain, Nollywood A-rated Actor,
Mike Ezeuronye and very popular South African Radio
Personality, Kgopedi Lioane as the show hosts for the
awards night which will take place at the Obi Wali
International Conference Centre.
In a statement signed by the Director of Administration of
the organization, Mr. Tony Anih the 2016 awards event
will be the 12th consecutive edition and the 11th time it
will hold in Nigeria having been hosted in 2015 by the
City of Port Elizabeth, South Africa.
“It is a great development in the evolution of AMAA that
we are back home this year having made the first voyage
outside Nigeria last year to South Africa. We are indeed
grateful to His Excellency, Governor Nyesom Wike, the
government and good people of Rivers State for
accepting to host us this year. We are set to forge a good
relationship with the state, going forward. Rivers State is
a very strong brand and partnering with AMAA, an equally
strong continental awards brand will provide a win-win
for the state and the work we do to promote Africa to the
rest of the world through our films,” said Mr. Anih.
