The leading digital journalistic platform in Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba-Akoko, AAUA Insider is set to hold the maiden edition of its meritorious award to celebrating promising AAUA students who have been remarkable and achieved extraordinary and commendable feats in the year under review.
The event is slated to hold Saturday, July 3, 2021, at the Olusegun Obasanjo Multipurpose Hall by 12PM. The event will be hosted by the superstar emcee and compere, MC Dekola and the energetic Fiyin.
According to the editor-in-chief, Oluwatosin Ologun, “the award ceremony serves to formally recognize students who excel in their chosen fields and exemplify the best attributes”.
He added that the award process started from sending out the nomination link for students to nominate who they feel deserves the award followed by the voting link for the final nominees in each category.
In defending what separates AAUA Insider awards from others awards, the editor-in-chief said the award does not celebrate frivolities.
“This award ceremony only recognizes student who are and have been remarkable and commendable in their chosen fields. It is not an award that celebrates frivolities and trivialities.
“In fact, some other groups, associations, unions have adopted and replicated our method in terms of merit. So in the spirit of other award shows claiming meritoriousness, AAUA Insider Awards is the most meritorious award ever in the history of AAUA”.
He added that, “The upcoming event is not just to present awards, on the day promising and talented student artistes would perform music, comedy and other forms of entertainment”.
