‘’Distinguish ladies and gentlemen, I say a very big welcome to you all as we begin this epoch-making event.
If we, as Members of the fourth estate of the realm can go out to nominate and recognize individuals in other sectors of the Nigerian economy, why then can’t we, the veritable source of gauging achievement and excellence in the society do same for ourselves. It is for this reason that the Nigeria Media Nite-out Award (NMNA)was launched ten years ago to fill this gap in our midst.
I am today attesting to that fact and without any fear of contradiction, favour, that we have lived up to the billing and still not done’’. These were parts of speech delivered by Sola Olagbemiro, Founder, Nigeria Media Nite-out award (NMNA).
With this opening remark speech delivered at the Timesquare event centre , Ikeja, Lagos Nigeria, the event took-off in earnest with the hall filled to the brim. Notably, the Who-is-who in the entertainment industry, political arena, banking industry heavy weights, media moguls, top flight personalities were all present and enjoyed the perfectly organized event to the very end of it.
