The Central Working Committee (CWC) of The Future Awards Africa (TFAA) has announced the nominees for the 13th edition of Africa's biggest youth awards set to hold on 16 December, 2018 at the Balmoral Centre, Federal Palace Hotel, Lagos.

With 20 award categories this year, the CWC unveiled one hundred (100) nominees which include artistes, Davido and Simi; footballer, Ahmed Musa; actor, Adesua Etomi; social media influencer and comedienne, Maraji; entrepreneur, Chidi Ajaere, scientist, Dr Mahmoud Maina; Taekwondo expert, Thursdaline Peter and many more – representing a new class of innovators, philanthropists, activists, entertainers, technocrats and creators promoting the shared values of creativity, social good, and innovation while making impact in entertainment, professional service, agriculture, business and sports.

"Inducting these new set of performers into Nigeria's New Tribe has been nothing short of inspiring as they have dutifully chosen the path of impact to their community, nation and the continent,” said Bukonla Adebakin, Chief Operating Officer of The Future Project. “We are reminded of how important it is to acknowledge the work of young Nigerians who have ignored limitations around them and excelling in their chosen fields.”

ok

Good to see we still have some youths in the country doing so well in their endeavors in life.

This should be an inspiration to some youths that believe that the future is blank.

Believe in what you do and do what you believe in.

Peace out guys!

Lol is that their real age or football age

Are the numbers in brackets their age??

It is a great way to encourage the youths. I dey vex say my name no dey am. . On a serious note, this is one of the few programs aimed at motivating and encouraging the youths. We need more of this from both the government and NGOs. The Youth are the engine house of any responsible polity. Neglect them and you spend more to solve problems created by the same youth. We need not be told that Boko Haram was an offshoot of brainwashed and frustrated youth. We need not be told that the high incidence of yahoo yahoo in Nigeria is as a result of youth unemployment. Food for thought.

People are just bring nonsense concept all in the name of award. When will this country wake up from sleep. Which one is FUTURE award again? They just giving rush award to people all in the name of making money.



Instead of them to be giving award for people like;

Best NGOs in Nigeria
Best student in Nigeria University
Best student in Nigeria Polytechnics
Best student in Nigeria College of Education
Best student in School of Nursing
Best Governor in Nigeria
Best Deputy Governor
Best Senator from the South/West/North/East
Best Pastor
Best Alfa
Best Babalawo (Herbalist)
