The complete list of Bellafricana ACE Awards nominees have been released and it is with great pleasure to see that well deserving brands made it on.
Adding value and creating impact is a noble cause that should be awarded. This by no means undermines or belittles the efforts of the brands that weren’t nominated, far from it.
The Bellafricana ACE Awards 2017 is the first of it’s kind and we have plans to stay while making it better each year.
The event is sponsored by the Nigerian Export Promotion Council (NEPC) and proudly endorsed by the Nigerian-British Chamber of Commerce (NBCC), Lagos Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Nigerian-American
Chamber of Commerce (NACC) and Nigeria-Britain Association.
While attendance to the event is FREE, coming for the dinner attracts a cost of ?20,000 and a 25% discount if you are purchasing tickets for two or more.
Bellafricana is not only aiming to award innovation and creativity, she is also trying to train and assist SMEs Nationwide to grow and be better than they are.
