The 2021 Yala Achiever’s Awards ceremony aims to recognize the success and vitality of all sectors in Cross River State specifically Yala Sons and Daughters. This unique annual awards program has been established primarily to acknowledge, encourage and celebrate excellence among Yala Sons and Daughters worldwide by giving them the opportunity to gain valuable exposure and well-deserved recognition for their national and global expansion ambitions.
Also, Yala Achiever’s Award is a well known Award ceremony which was born out as an initiative to identify, recognise and celebrate sons and daughters of Yala nation in Cross River State, who have distinguished themselves in various spheres impacting the lives of fellow Yalas, their communities, the State and Nation at large with developmental initiatives carried out by themselves as their contributions to move the people forward without waiting for Government to do it.
The Yala Achiever’s Award ceremony is the brainchild of Mr Odey Jacob also known as Odey D Uncommon Comedian CEO of MOJ Entertainment, a professional event organizer and event manager .
Interestingly, the Yala Achiever’s Awards event started in 2015 with it’s first edition that have really brought out well meaning and patriotic personalities that have done noble in their own way to add value to the lives of the great people of Yala.
According to the Organizer Mr Odey De Comedian ” This fourth edition of the Award is coming up at this time because of the suspension of the 2020 edition due to the outbreak of the novel Coronavirus, COVID-19 pandemic that globally affected plans and events in 2020 but we are grateful to God who has seen us through to 2021 amid the devastating impact of COVID-19.
This 4th edition of the Yala Achievers’ Award promises to be bigger and glamorous with new innovations and broad base outreach to deserving personalities and organisations. We have decided to expand the scope by including personalities who are not of Yala origin but are friends of Yala who have Distinguished themselves in adding value in different areas to move Yala forward.
We believe that the Award ceremony is coming at a right time, especially now people are yearning to see and be part of the development process, and we believe with the award more will be done to galvanise development in Yala land.
Eminent personalities from all works of life will grace the occasion ” he added.
