Headies Producer calls on FG to support award show

With the Headies returning to Nigeria for its 17th edition, the Headies Executive Producer, Mr. Ayo Animashaun called on the Nigerian government to support the award show.

Recall that last week, the Headies Academy announced that the award would be returning to Nigeria after it was taken to Atlanta Georgia for two consecutive editions.

In an interview, the Headies Executive Producer, Mr. Ayo Animashaun said that the decision to return the award show to Nigeria was motivated by the plea of Nigerians who demanded that the ceremony be returned to the country.

“I realised when you are doing something for the people and it’s a sacrifice and not for yourself, you have to listen to the people. They said they wanted the awards back home,” Animashaun said.

He further went on to say that the decision to take the awards to Atlanta Georgia was what saved the awards from what appeared to be an impending doom.

In the interview, Ayo Animashaun also stated that in the past two years, the Headies have gotten the most support from the US embassy in Nigeria which hosted them to parties and also granted visas to Nigerians to attend the event.
