Sanwo-Olu gave the assurance in a statement signed by Tony
Anih, the Chief Operating Officer of AMAA.
The statement said that the continental film awards ceremony
would hold on Oct. 29 at the Marriot Hotel, Ikeja.
According to the statement, the governor made the commitment
to host AMAA for four years as a strategic partner, after attending the 17th
edition in 2021.
It added that Raymond Anyiam-Osigwe, on behalf of the AMAA
Board, said that Gov. Sanwo-Olu’s commitment re-affirmed that he remained a man
of his word.
“We are happy that Gov. Babajide Sanwo-Olu has restated his
commitment towards hosting AMAA for the second time in a row.
“He made true his promise last year and has also displayed
the traits of true leader. The strategic partnership between AMAA and Lagos
State is exemplary.
“The AMAA team has already been working with the ministry of
culture and tourism for the execution of a successful awards ceremony,” the
statement quoted Anyiam-Osigwe as saying.
It added that Anih and show producer Kingsley James had
unveiled some of the activities scheduled for the 2023 edition of AMAA.
Films such as ‘Anikulapo’ and ‘Mami Water’ had secured
multiple nominations.
