The brand new MTV Base VJ will become one of the key faces of the music network, hosting programmes on MTV Base amongst other things.ย  The winner will also get the once in a lifetime opportunity to meet and interview A-list stars, emcee parties and concerts, walk the red carpet at entertainment events and travel the world over, representing MTV Base.

The new VJ will follow in the footsteps of MTV Base veteran VJ Ehiz Okoeguale, winner of the channelโ€™s second Nigerian VJ search back in 2013. Ehiz was transformed overnight from a job-seeker to a bona fide TV star!ย  Ehiz has hosted a multitude of MTV Base programmes and showbiz events, including the Official Naija Top 10, Word on the Street, and Real Talk. He interviewed stars from Lagos to Amsterdam and Hollywood, including artists like Tinie Tempah, Wale, Jidenna, Davido, Wizkid and Tiwa Savage.
