Nollywood Movies, a 24-hour movie channel based in the United Kingdom is set to hold the inaugural edition of its Nollywood Movies Awards (NMAs).
The awards, according to the organisers, will be celebrating excellence, outstanding achievements and diversity in Nigeria.
The awards will celebrate both English speaking and indigenous talents with a nominees’ party set to take place next Saturday at Oriental Hotel, Lagos, while the main award ceremony is slated for Saturday, 2 June, 2012 at the Civic Centre, Lagos.
According to the director of the organisers, Alfred Soroh, “the primary aim of NMAs is to honour and recognize excellence in the industry. Twenty-two categories have been created which will help develop the industry. It will also focus on the highest achievements of films produced for the industry each year in order to motivate and encourage those who make them and inspire new entrants into the industry.”
