It was a remarkable day, as many
media houses came with their teams to cover the unveiling of plans for the 2017
edition of NTCA, held on Tuesday 28th February at the Lagos Chamber of Commerce
and Industry, Victoria Island, Lagos, Nigeria.
The Nigerian Teens Choice Award, an
initiative introduced in 2012, is a platform which recognizes, encourages and
rewards outstanding teenagers, youths, personalities and celebrities with
overwhelming achievements and Excellence. Within the last 5-years of its
existence, NTCA has experienced a huge turnout of over 2,000 people attending
the show, which is very remarkable and truly an event filled with the largest
numbers of Teenagers and young adult in Nigeria.
This year, 2017, in Lagos, NTCA
would as usual be awarding many Nigerian Youths and Teenagers, who are driving
their own future by fashioning opportunities for themselves. This would be
achieved by making teenagers from all over Lagos; especially in the grassroots
level, undertake different entrepreneurial ventures with the aim to bring out
their hidden stars and talents.
According to the organizers, Blessing
Okoh (Project Coordinator for NTCA 2017) and Mr Victor Atewe (Public Relation
Strategist), when you search online today the word "Nigerian
Teenager" all you see is negative news, teenage pregnancy, teen marriage
and its likes. Adding to that, a United Nations report in 2013 had it that,
Nigeria has the highest level of school dropouts, most of which were teenagers.
But the Nigerian teenager should be better than that and that's the aim of
NTCA. "The teenagers have been yearning for a platform and now they are
telling you - we exist, we have a platform. Nigerian Teen Choice Awards is a platform
of teens, for the teens and by the teens, but we cannot do it on our own, we
need the encouragement of our parents and corporate bodies.
NTCA brand is aimed at Catching them
young by recognizing, encouraging and rewarding outstanding Teens/youth and
personalities who have imparted positively in their various fields of endeavour.
We know that our teens are very energetic and talented, and if such energy
isn't channelled properly, they lose focus and drive. That is why the NTCA
brand is keen on promoting and encouraging them, to ensure they feel the drive
to do more.
Nigerian Teen Choice Awards is a
brand initiative of Nelz Global Concepts Limited, an organization committed to
the development and discovering of creative talents among the Nigerian/Africa
Teenagers and youth for the good of our society. It is an annual event that
began in 2012 and has since held five successful editions to celebrate and
encourage deserving Teenagers and personalities in various categories including
Music, Lifestyle, Media, movies, Education, Fashion, innovation and more, with

Bello, Davido, Praiz, Tekno, Burna Boy, Denrele, Yungsix,, Lil Kesh to mention
a few, have graced the NTCA stage.
