Future Awards: Final Nomination List

The Future Nigeria has revealed the final cut of nominees for the 6^th edition of the Future Awards. The first cut had been previously announced in the third quarter of last year and now it has been pruned down.

The event will hold on Jan 30^th, 2011 at the Landmark village, Victoria Island, Lagos where the winners will be revealed

Personally I must say I love the concept of the future awards; honouring young Nigerians who have made enormous and remarkable achievements in their various field of endeavour. Thank God it's not like another youth awards I know of *looking from side to side*

Look below for the names of the shortlisted people in the different categories.
