Champion News reports that Lagos is set to host the 9th AFRIMA Awards, with artists and delegates arriving ahead of a concert and the live awards ceremony at Eko Hotels and Suites.
The Guardian Nigeria also reported that the state is positioning culture and entertainment as a development driver as the event draws visitors, industry executives, and media attention.
Music In Africa highlighted organisers’ announcement that Falz and Liliane Maroune will host the ceremony, reinforcing the show’s pan-African outlook.
Echotitbits Take: AFRIMA is still the continent’s big “home-stage” moment. Expect fashion, networking, and a tourism bump for Lagos—plus plenty of storyline fuel heading into global awards season.
