The Future Awards ‘Nominees Reception’ holds August 4

As a build up to the seventh edition of The Future Awards this year,the Central Working Committee has announced a ‘Nominees Reception’ holding this Saturday, August 4, 2012.

The main purpose of the event according to organizers is to celebrate the 168 leaders, innovators, change-makers and entrepreneurs nominated for this edition.

‘We are impressed with the people nominated in all categories this season. Bringing them together in a gathering to honour and show them to the world excites us,’ Ohimai Atafo, chairman of the Central Working Committee says.

‘Obviously only one person emerges in each category but they are all achievers’, he adds

The reception which will take place at the Terra Kulture, Victoria Island, Lagos will see nominees inducted into ‘The Future Alumni Network’, organizers add.

Organisers say the reception will also be an opportunity to raise money for the Down Syndrome Foundation of Nigeria, a non-profit organisation which seeks to provide care for children with Down syndrome.

Music performance will come from the likes of fast rising singer Praiz and EME’s Niyola and Skales. The event will be anchored by  Uti Nwachukwu.
