“It has been seven years of inspiring young Nigerian leaders across the country. We have visited 23 states with the awards, the town hall meetings, conferences amongst others and we have touched thousands of lives. That legacy will remain.
This year however, after visiting Ghana, South Africa and Ethiopia, we are excited to announce that The Future Awards will go continental for the first time – and this move is timed to coincide with the just-concluded 50th anniversary celebration of the African Union.” Those are the words of Chude Jideonwo, who is executive director of The Future Project on the exciting calendar schedule of the 8th Season of The Future Awards Project.
This edition is hosted in partnership with the youth office to the African Union Commission, based in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia and the nominations for the awards biggest prize; Young Person of the Year is Africa-based. Judges for the awards will be disclosed in a statement next week.
