    “The Future Africa Awards & Summit in the last eight years has been proud of its record of impact with the Nigerian audience and the youth population,” said Mfon Ekpo, who is Vice-Chair of the TFAAS Central Working Committee. “That success has enabled its expansion into a pan- African movement with an active presence in at least 24 states across the continent. These strides would not be possible without the steady support of our high-profile brain trust, including the Board of Trustees, the Board of Judges and the Independent Audit Committee.

    “Their extensive experience, credibility and expertise has been invaluable in structuring the process for impact and for sustainability. More important, they believed in this vision when it was still only at its beginnings. As the tenures for the existing boards lapse this year, we have, activated an extensive restructuring to ensure deeper impact. To this extend, we have formally inducted into our expanded Advisory Council.”

    Said Ugoma Adegoke, who is chief executive of The Lifehouse, hosts of the event: “Tonight is not just to network and relax but to recognize the efforts of TFAAS in steering  the course of their generation and giving the Nigerian youth a voice.”

I commend the transparency in setting up the Advisory Council, Nigeria for the award and the project, and the rigorous process it takes when it comes to nominations and the eventual winners emerging.”
