Mo Abudu, the Cheif Executive Officer of the Ebonylife Group, has been invited by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, popularly known as the OSCARS, to vote.
This comes barely a month after Forbes listed her as one of the most powerful women in 2022.
She announced the great feat on her verified Instagram page with a picture of OSCARS in gold.
Abudu wrote; “Good morning beautiful people. It’s such an honour to have been invited by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, popularly known as the OSCARS to vote in THE INTERNATIONAL FEATURE FILM and SHORT FILM LIVE ACTION categories of the 95th Academy Awards.
“I am really excited about being part of the process and joining the voting committee this year!” she added.
Felicitations have since been dropping from popular Nigerian celebrities, particularly Nollywood actors and actresses.
Actress Adunni Ade wrote “Come on! That’s what I’m talking about! Congratulations ma”
Osas Ighodaro wrote “Auntie Mo!!!!! Sooooo happy and excited!! Congratulations sooooo much! What amazing news!!! Such an honour”
Omowunmi Dada and Judith Audu wrote in their separate comments “Congratulations Mama”
Another comment read “Congrats! This is a sort of poetic justice for an executive producer whose film was among the movies blocked this year by some colleagues from seeing the light of day on OSCARS nominations. More blessings to you, come 2023.
