AUDU MAIKORI @audumaikori “My passions are the arts, law and entrepreneurship. I believe that all three have the power to change lives and as such I am focused on fostering collaborations and co-creation as a means to bake a bigger pie for all parties involved. This is the model I have championed in both Chocolate City Group and in other ventures we have been involved in. Yes Africa is open for business and we are helping to open those doors!”

Audu Maikori (born 13 August 1975, Kaduna) is a Nigerian lawyer, entrepreneur, social activist, public speaker and creative industry professional. He is the founder and president of the Chocolate City Entertainment. He is best known as a judge of Nigerian Idol's first season. Unsurprisingly, he has been bestowed with many awards and accolades.

In 2008, at the inaugural edition of the United Kingdom Young Music Entrepreneur, Maikori was nominated to serve as a judge alongside four other British music industry judges, making him the first black judge for a major British Music industry competition.

On 29 June 2007, he won the INTERNATIONAL YOUNG MUSIC ENTREPRENEUR OF THE YEAR (IYMEY) for his work with Chocolate City beating off international competition from Egypt, India, Indonesia, Latvia, Lithuania, Malaysia, Philippines, Poland and Tanzania.

He received special judges commendation as well as $15,000 Dollars in prize money.

In December 2011, Chocolate City Group, under Audu’s leadership, was named winner at the prestigious Africa Awards for Entrepreneurship in Nairobi, Kenya. Chocolate City was selected from over 3,300 applicants from 48 African countries to win prize of $50,000.

In November 2014, he was inducted as a Fellow of the Nigerian Leadership Institute(NLI) in November at the NLI-YALE Leadership Conference which held at the campus in New Haven.
