Nigeria has been opportune to host the award show for eleven times, while South Africa has only had one opportunity.
“It is a great development in the evolution of AMAA that we are back home this year having made the first voyage outside Nigeria last year to South Africa.”
“We are indeed grateful to His Excellency, Governor Nyesom Wike, the government and good people of Rivers State for accepting to host us this year.”
“We are set to forge a good relationship with the state, going forward.”
“Rivers State is a very strong brand and partnering with AMAA, an equally strong continental awards brand will provide a win-win for the state and the work we do to promote Africa to the rest of the world through our films,”
The 2016 Africa Movie Academy Awards will recognise excellence in acting and movie production across Africa.
