Nigeria has won the rights to host the maiden edition of the All Africa Music Award, AFRIMA, a continental award to reward talents in the Africa music industry.
Speaking while unveiling the host country to newsmen in Lagos, the Executive Director of AFRIMA, Mike Dada disclosed that Nigeria was selected ahead of Gabon, South Africa, Namibia and Kenya to host the Pan-African music award after months of intensive deliberations.
Dada explained that Nigeria was favoured because of its booming music industry and its growing entertainment and event hosting infrastructure.
Correspondent Richard Edoki reports that Nigeria would host the award for three consecutive years beginning from October next year.
