Speaking on the partnership, Chief Commercial Officer, Airtel Nigeria, Femi Oshinlaja, expressed Airtel’s delight to continue its support for the renowned music award.

“In line with Airtel’s brand values of innovation and excellence, the partnership with The Headies is a natural fit for us, as we are always delighted and do not rest on our commitment to supporting and nurturing the Nigerian creative industry, and providing a platform for talent discovery,” he said.
