It is yet one day to the 2014 edition of the Best of Nollywood Awards
holding Thursday, October 16th, in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, but the
excitement and anticipation it has generated among Nollywood stars and
stakeholders are palpable and pervasive. It is the sixth edition of the
indigenous awards ceremony which has been putting a golden seal of
excellence on the works of those who are toiling and sweating to produce
and star in feel-good and educative movies. The Government of Rivers
State is the host.
Already, the executive producer, Seun Oloketuyi, says movie stars like
Desmond Elliot, Ini Edo, Joseph Benjamin, Rita Dominic, Iyabo Ojo and
Femi Adebayo among others are all set to hit Port Harcourt.

will run a live broadcast of the show while negotiations are ongoing to
seal a live television broadcast with one of Nigeria’s most popular TV
stations. “With the support of the Rivers State government, we look
forward to an event that would be talked about for a long time to come,”
Oloketuyi averred.
