A statement by the organisers said that all is set for the awards designed to reward Nigerian sportsmen, women and administrators who excel in any given year, as well as corporate bodies contributing significantly to the development and growth of Nigerian sports.

“This is easily Nigeria’s biggest sports awards and we are ready to mount an award whose memory would keep reverberating in the minds of sporting Nigerians and beyond for a long time to come. We anticipates great outing,” said Chairman of the Award Committee, Prince Isidore Oduah.

The organisers had earlier in the week announced other nominees, among them Super Eagles Skipper Mikel Obi; mesmerising winger Victor Moses; veteran striker Obafemi Martins; safe hands Carl Ikeme and Ikechukwu Ezenwa; goal queen Asisat Oshoala; and tennis sensation Aruna Quadri.
