AY wins CEAN-British Council Awards

In appreciation of his tangible and significant contribution to the Comedy Industry, AY has been given an Award as the Most Creative Entrepreneur-Comedian in the year 2012 at the Creative Entrepreneur Award, which held Friday February 23, 2013 at the British Council Gardens, Ikoyi, Lagos.

Organized and presented by the Creative Entrepreneurs Association of Nigeria (CEAN) in conjunction with British Council of Nigeria, the 2102  Creative Entrepreneur Award had 10 competitive categories and AY won the Comedy Category.

“I’m happy this is coming today," AY said after the Event. "In fact, the Award ceremonies began 6pm, which is the same time The New AY Show premiered on African Magic. So while we were getting great feedback from viewers on the Show, we were here getting worthy recognition from a body as respected as CEAN and the British Council.

“AY Live is also at hand, and with this Award we must raise the stake higher in the production of the Concert. Coincidentally, we were already talking to a UK Company to handle the production. I’m truly glad this is coming now, and to CEAN and British Council, I must say, ‘Thank You!’”

Other winners are of the Creative Entrepreneur Awards are Kelechi Amadi Obi (Visual Arts Category); Chris Obosi (Audio Visual), Mai Atafo (Fashion Category); and Banky W’s EME won the Music Category.
