About Nigeria Media Nite-Out Awards
The Nigeria Media Nite-Out Award debuted almost two decades ago to recognize the excellence and achievements of media practitioners (print, electronic, and social media).
The event also gives the opportunity to recognise distinctions among corporate and government organisations, as well as individuals who have one way or another, supported the media, or upheld unique values in society.
It is arguably the only worthy prize and recognition that journalists in Nigeria pride as a reward for their various contributions to the development of Nigeria.
