The award ceremony, in its 11th year, is not only focused on recognising Nigerian entertainers but also highlight Nigerians who continue to make an impact in our immediate communities in Nigeria or extended communities in the diaspora, City People reports.
This year, the producers of the NEAs are excited to announce the addition of some new categories and also the expansion of some existing categories to reflect the ever-changing entertainment industry.
The 2016 NEAs will be held on September 4th, 2016 in New York City, during the labour day weekend.
