AFRIMA 2025

President Tinubu has appointed Local Organising Committee for AFRIMA 2025 nd confirmed Lagos as Host City.

NewsOnline Nigeria reports that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has officially thrown Nigeria’s weight behind the 2025 edition of the All Africa Music Awards (AFRIMA), appointing a high-level Local Organising Committee (LOC) to coordinate the event set to take place in Lagos from November 25 to 30.

The President’s endorsement follows a formal request from the African Union Commission (AUC), reaffirming Nigeria’s long-standing commitment to celebrating African talent and culture on a global platform.

The LOC, inaugurated by the Federal Ministry of Arts, Culture, Tourism, and Creative Economy in collaboration with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, will work closely with the Lagos State Government, the African Union, and the AFRIMA International Committee to deliver what is expected to be the most outstanding edition yet, under the theme “Unstoppable Africa.”

Minister Musawa: “AFRIMA Aligns with Tinubu’s Vision for the Creative Economy”

Speaking during the inauguration of the committee in Abuja, Minister of Arts, Culture, Tourism, and Creative Economy, Hannatu Musa Musawa, described AFRIMA as a strategic tool for economic growth, tourism, and cultural diplomacy.

“This is more than just an awards show,” she said. “It’s a platform to create jobs, tell our stories, and position Nigeria as the heartbeat of African creativity.”

The minister assured full collaboration with the Lagos State Government, AFRIMA team, and the AU to ensure a seamless, world-class experience.

Tinubu’s Support Widely Praised

Delivering the President’s message, Mrs. Ugochi Akudo-Nwosu, Director of Entertainment and Creative Economy, expressed gratitude to President Tinubu for his swift approval and for “positioning Nigeria once again as Africa’s cultural hub.”

She also acknowledged the Honourable Ministers of Arts and Foreign Affairs for their joint efforts in bringing AFRIMA 2025 back to Nigeria.

LOC Comprises Top Ministries and Agencies

The newly constituted LOC includes key federal ministries such as:

  • Arts, Culture, Tourism and Creative Economy

  • Information and National Orientation

  • Foreign Affairs

  • Interior

  • Youth

  • Education

  • Aviation

Also on board are strategic agencies such as the Nigerian Film Corporation, National Film and Video Censors Board, and the National Council for Arts and Culture, alongside delegates from the AFRIMA International Committee and the AU.

AFRIMA Executive Producer: “This Is a Statement of Vision”

 

AFRIMA President and Executive Producer Mike Dada applauded President Tinubu for the bold support, describing it as “a loud statement that Nigeria values the creative industry and its power to unite the continent.”

“With this federal support and Lagos as our Host City, we are confident AFRIMA 2025 will set a new global benchmark for African entertainment,” he added.

The awards, which last held in Dakar, Senegal, return to Nigeria as the 2025 host after more than a decade of co-organising with the African Union since 2014. Broadcast live to over 84 countries, AFRIMA celebrates African music through its seven key pillars: awards ceremony, music festivals, business hub, talent discovery, kreative academy, policy advisory, and advocacy.
