The Nigerian Child Safety Report Initiative has announced that the maiden edition of its awards dedicated to celebrate children, The Nigerian Child Friendly Awards (TNCFA) 2016/2017, will hold on February 12, 2017 at the Sheraton Hotel, Ikeja, Lagos, Nigeria.
TNCFA, according to the organisers, is all about the children. “It was the children who came up with the nominees. In a category like Child Friendly Bank which children might not be in the best position to know, they told them to ask their parents in order to know which to nominate. The music category has nominees that include Olamide, Wizkid and Tiwa Savage.”
According to TNCFA’s Tunde Gemini, the nominees represent the wishes of children all over the nation and not just a particular region as they went to three geopolitical zones to engage children to choose nominees and also created an online platform that was accessible to them for their nominations wherever they are in Nigeria.
