As the weeks roll down to the November date of the 2015 edition of Music & Entertainment Gospel Awards (MEGA), the organisers of the awards are pleased to embrace more strategic supporters in pursuit of its goal as the premier gospel music awards in Africa.
Though top broadcast entities have been partners with us from inception (FM radio giants like Raypower, Faaji, Beat, Brila, TopRadio, City, Classic & Naija), we recently welcomed a clutch of internet radio outlets with programming bias for gospel music (Proclaim Radio, Gospotainment, AmenRadio, etc) and a sleuth of savvy gospel-centric bloggers with strong social media following.
Television support still remains solid: AIT, LTV, Rave TV, Hip TV, ReelStars on StarTimes, GoldmyneTV, X2D TV, WebTV, etc.
Yet, our traditional support base in the print media remain unshaken – with editorial support from the Punch, Nation, National Mirror, Daily Newswatch, Sun, etc, MEGA is undoubtedly the most covered award ceremony in Nigeria. Our partner-media stand behind us like the proverbial rock: great support from NET newspapers, Yes! international, Top Celebrities, First Weekly, High Society, News Scroll, Africa Music, and top celebrity online news portals.
And the good news is not over. While we still enjoy the immense support of our long-time Hospitality partner, Hotel Support Services International, we have also secured a co-Hospitality partner in Marblefield Hotel & Events Centre. The new and lovely edifice on Seinde Calisto Street, off Apapa/Oshodi Express Way, Lagos, will provide conference logistics, among other things.
As activities bubble to the November surface, the sponsorship drive of the leading gospel music continues to gather steam as corporate bodies and individuals lend their support/weight in making this year’s event live up to its current theme: “Pushing the frontiers.
