As reported by Punch Newspapers, the 2026 Nigeria International Gospel Music Awards (NIGMA) honored top gospel artists, with Moses Bliss snagging Artiste of the Year and Gaise Baba’s “No Turning Back II” scooping multiple honors. The event brought together major figures in African gospel music to celebrate creative excellence.
Validating the awards night, Tribune Online noted that “Moses Bliss walked away with top honors after a dominant year on the charts,” while GospelNaija quoted event organizers stating “the 2026 edition demonstrated the rapid international expansion of contemporary African gospel.”
The success of NIGMA 2026 underscores the commercial growth and structured institutional support forming around the gospel entertainment ecosystem. Look for African gospel artists expanding their tour footprints into international arena venues.
