The new venue, according to a statement by the NMMA on Friday, is Eko Hotel and Suites, Victoria Island, Lagos, and the date is Dec. 8, 2012.
The NMMA, a major media event that celebrates and rewards distinguished journalists and organisations on a yearly basis, had earlier fixed the ceremony for Calabar, Cross River State before the announcement of the new venue.
However, while announcing the change of venue, the NMMA did not give any reason for the change.
With over one thousand eight hundred entries received for NMMA 2012 awards, according to the body, winners will be unveiled from the 51 categories of awards during the grand presentation programme reputed to be the largest gathering of practitioners, veterans and stakeholders of the Nigerian media industry.
The NMMA assessors, led by the acting Chairman, Prof. Ralph Akinfeleye, noted in the statement that there had been increased competition among media writers and the involvement in the award scheme by practitioners in the electronic media.
According to the statement, some of the highlights of the 2012 NMMA event would include the presentation of the Lifetime Achievement Award for Media Excellence to Alhaji Maitama Sule, Pa Sam Amuka-Pemu and Chief Ajibola Ogunshola for their distinctive roles and contributions to the media industry and Nigeria as a whole.
