A new awards show for the Igbo nation has emerged and it is called the Igbo Excellence Awards (IEA). The awards is an annual cultural and social contemporary event, which debuts on Saturday, 1 February, 2014.
IEA is designed to celebrate Igbo sons and daughters, who have excelled without any undue scandal in their endeavours. It is also designed to celebrate and honour Igbo individuals, businesses, governments, corporate bodies with outstanding contributions towards sustaining and developing the essence, pride and image of the Igbo culture as well as the country Nigeria across the world. IEA is basically for the development of the culture and people.
According to the award initiator, Prince Onyekachukwu David of Tobems Media Limited, “our vision for the IEA is to be a global brand recognised for its genuine commitment to promoting the socio-economic and cultural values of the Ndi Igbo through-out the world. We are poised to drive this vision to accomplishment by focusing a lot on the Igbo youths, with awards categories that allow young people to compete fairly for exposure and recognition.”
The maiden edition of the award will hold in Lagos, and David defended that the neutrality of this location is to help emphasise the credibility of the award and its willingness to reach out to all Ndigbo simultaneously irrespective of their states, cultural, and political differences.
“We believe that starting with a successful execution of this forthcoming maiden edition, we would have started a journey towards accomplishing our vision within the next five years. We are also open to partnerships with organisations willing to share in this dream and make history with us.” he said.
He added that subsequent editions will be hosted in different eastern states of the federation.
