Africa is set for another unforgettable celebration of music, culture, and creativity as Nigerian President Bola Tinubu has officially backed and endorsed the 2025 edition of All Africa Music Awards (AFRIMA), which will take place in Lagos from November 25-30.

The President’s endorsement came in response to a letter from the African Union Commission (AUC) requesting Nigeria’s collaboration for the next edition of the prestigious awards show.

To follow up on the President’s nod, the Federal Government has immediately swung into action through the Ministry of Arts, Culture, Tourism, and Creative Economy, and Ministry of Foreign Affairs by setting up an inter ministerial Local Organising Committee (LOC) to work with the official Host City, Lagos, African Union and International Committee of AFRIMA to plan and deliver an historic event under the theme, ‘Unstoppable Africa.’

Speaking during the inauguration of the federal government’s LOC in Abuja on Wednesday, July 9, 2025, the Minister of Arts, Culture, Tourism and Creative Economy, Barrister Hannatu Musa Musawa, said the ministry is fully ready to work hand-in-hand with the Lagos State Government and the International Committee of AFRIMA to host what she described as the best AFRIMA yet.

According to the Minister, AFRIMA perfectly aligns with President Tinubu’s vision of leveraging the creative industry as a key driver of economic growth, national development, and social re-engineering.

“This is more than just an awards show,” Musawa said. “It is a major platform to create jobs, promote tourism, celebrate African talents, and tell our positive stories authentically through music to the world. We are excited to work with the Lagos State government, the AFRIMA team, and the African Union to deliver a world-class event.”

Also, speaking at the event, Mrs. Ugochi Akudo-Nwosu, the Director of Entertainment and Creative Economy in the ministry, conveyed the official message of President Tinubu’s approval and praised his support for the industry.

“On behalf of the Honorable Minister and the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry and our agencies, we appreciate the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR) for granting us the opportunity, Nigeria opportunity, to host this historic event during this administration, and we also thank the Honourable Minister for providing a platform for us to collaborate with AFRIMA for this event to come true in November this year, and the Honourable Minister of Foreign Affairs as well, that is co-chair with our Honourable Minister, to make this dream come to pass,” she said.
