The Future Awards Africa 2019 recently announced its call for nominations for this year’s edition of the revered award ceremony, scheduled to take place sometime in November.
The 2019 edition themed “Nigeria’s New Tribe” seeks to reward excellence and selfless service among youth between the ages of 18 and 31.
Deputy Secretary-General of the United Nations, Amina Mohammed, commenting on the awards, said; “Even while we all acknowledge our socio-economic issues and challenges, our hope for the future is bound on the talent, creativity, and determination in every young Nigerian. They represent the much-needed agents of change – a new and perfect direction in giving back power to our youth – so joining the new tribe should be a movement every young person should aspire to be a part of.”
Chief Operation Officer, The Future Project, Bukonla Adebakin, shared; “We are doubling down on the theme, ‘Nigeria’s New Tribe’ as there’s no better time to identify, acknowledge, and showcase a new set of bright, young Nigerians leading the charge to establish a positive, new narrative for the continent. We therefore urge everyone to nominate outstanding young people in different communities across the country so as to inspire many others who need models of hard work, creativity, impact, and integrity to emulate.”
Persons eligible for nomination are required to have made considerable impact within Nigeria and/or globally within the last one year and must have easily accessible documentation of their achievements.
