Marking its sixth year, the awards continue to grow in influence. Frank Ilaboya, CEO of Sportsville Communication Ltd, promised a ceremony filled with fresh innovations.
"I am incredibly proud of the impact these awards have made over the last five years," Ilaboya stated. "Our focus has always been on ensuring that only those truly deserving are honoured. This year, we are awarding excellence across seven key categories: Sports Icon, Sports Personality, Sports Transformative, Special Recognition, Achievers, Innovative, and Sports Facilities."
Ilaboya added that the ultimate goal is to establish the Sportsville Special Recognition Award as the premier sports honors not just in Nigeria, but across the African continent.
The Sportsville Special Recognition Award was established five years ago to celebrate two decades of Shortsville’s continuous broadcast excellence. Today, Sportsville stands as one of the longest-running independent sports shows in sub-Saharan Africa.
