In the last few years, the media space has seen many leaders actively working to deliver good to society through their programmes, presentations and individualities in advocacy, educating, informing and entertaining the public go unnoticed and thus unrewarded, hence, the creation of the awards since 2018.
Osaze Isesele, Founder of Mediaville (Organizers of The Media Awards) expressed his excitement about the nominees and emphasized the importance of recognizing extraordinary media professionals who have impacted the public with their great leadership in the industry.
“We are excited to present the list of nominees which were meticulously selected. At The Media Awards, we recognize and acknowledge media professionals who impact the public with their excellent leadership, creativity and innovation in media, so introducing the nominees for the class of 2019 serves to remind those that celebrate them that the world is watching and whatever you do is worth doing well. He said.
