This year is no different as we will be visiting the beautiful city of Owerri after having gone to states like Ogun, Kano, Kogi, Abia, Rivers and others in previous years.
“The history and story of Nollywood will not be complete without mention of Imo State because there are lots of Imo indigenes who have done well in the industry.”
He added that “the presentation of the hosting rights is the first of the four major events for the year. Next is the submission of entries from May 1 when filmmakers from all over the country will send in their entries.
“Children in the host state are not left out of the BON Awards package as come May 27, there will be a book reading for children in Imo with the first lady, Her Excellency, Chioma Uzodinma.
On September 7, the nominee list for the 2022 edition of the awards will be unveiled after which the awards will hold on December 3.
