                                                     THE FUTURE AWARDS



 The Future Awards Africa (TFAA) is a famous youth-oriented award ceremony and has been scheduled to occur on December 7, 2014 in Lagos, Nigeria.
The Central Working Committee (CWC) of the award ceremony announced ''We are excited to announce that The Future Awards Africa 2014 will be hosted in Lagos, Nigeria on Sunday, December 7''.

 Ohimai Atafo, Chairman of the CWC and one of Africa’s leading fashion entrepreneurs said ''We are thrilled to have the awards return to Lagos where it all started. TFAA has always been excited to fuse inspiration with the best of pop culture, and this year’s event will underline that tradition – an evening of inspiration, of hope, and of a continent renewed''.
This year's edition is dedicated to War Against Ebola in West Africa and the TFAA will launch a global campaign to get a million young Africans to involve in the fight against Ebola via www.stopebola.com on November 11, 2014. 

Mfon Ekpo, Vice-Chairman of the CWC and West Africa Representative on the Mandela Washington Fellowship Advisory Board said "We are answering to a call made by CNN’s Isha Sesay on UN’s effort towards ending Ebola. If Africa will be saved by Africans, then young people need to take the lead on the problems we face and take ownership in the solutions we need''.
In its 9th Edition, the awards ceremony became an African prize last year, with a commemorative ceremony hosted by the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.

TFAA will be deploying its network of winners, nominees, alumni, celebrity, brain trust and continental media partners for this #StopEbola campaign which is to get 1 million young Africans through their social media updates to donate a minimum of $25 (N4,250) each directly to the World Health Organisation (WHO) which will then be transferred to the United Nations Ebola Response Fund (UNERF).
