Uncelebrated Nigerian Awards UK Event

Uncelebrated Nigerian Awards UK event would be at the Mayfair Banqueting Suite in east London, the Uncelebrated Nigerians Awards UK will be a classy gala dinner that will attract community leaders, guests from Nigeria and high commission officials.

Organised to honour ordinary Nigerians in the UK who are excelling in numerous fields, the awards ceremony is being put together by UK based community champions including some of the committee members that organised the Nigerian Centenary Awards UK in 2014.

Professor Osinbajo is one of the special guests invited to the event and organisers are hopeful that he will attend. Other dignitaries invited include President Muhammadu Buhari's senior special adviser on diaspora affairs and the former chair of the House of Representatives diaspora committee Hon Abike Dabiri-Erewa and the current chairman of the committee Hon Rita Orji.

According to Mr Benson, nominations open on April 1 and will close on June 30, giving the public three whole months to nominate people. He added that the nomination process will be transparent and all the awardees will be people highly deserving of the honour.

June Douglas, the vice coordinator of the organising committee, added: "This is the first such event of its kind is ever organised and it is glad to see that it is well supported both in UK and in Nigeria. We are even getting the attention of sponsors such as Mahmood Ahmadu, the chairman of Online Integrated Solutions who has already pledged to be one of our major sponsors."

Gbenga Coker, the general secretary of the Central Association of Nigerians in the UK (Canuk) said: "Data we have shows that there are large swathes of Nigerians living in the regions of the UK, especially in public service areas like local government and the National Health Service. Many such Nigerians have never attended an awards ceremony before, let alone be honoured at one, so hopefully, this ceremony will give them their long due recognition."
