The All Africa Music Awards (AFRIMA) and the British High Commission in Nigeria have entered into a cultural partnership aimed at boosting creative exchange, strengthening cultural ties, and opening more international doors for African music as the 9th AFRIMA Awards is set to hold from January 7-11, 2026.

The collaboration, formalised through a newly signed Cultural Cooperation Agreement, also affirms that the British Deputy High Commission in Lagos will co-host the Welcome Soirée for the Nominees and Guests in Lagos, the official opening event of the 9th AFRIMA Awards Week.

The exclusive gathering will take place on January 7, 2026 and in attendance will be AU officials, AFRIMA delegates, jury members, international guests, nominees, creatives, and media professionals for an evening of networking and cultural connection.

Unarguably, Africa’s global music awards, the 9th AFRIMA is organised by the International Executive Committee of AFRIMA in partnership with the African Union Commission and the Lagos State government as the Official Host City.

Speaking of the partnership, AFRIMA’s Chief Experience Officer (CXO), Adenrele Niyi, described the collaboration as a strategic move to deepen cultural diplomacy through music.

“This partnership reflects AFRIMA’s mission to position African music as a global force,” she said. “Beyond the awards, we are committed to building spaces where creativity meets opportunity and where African talent can confidently engage the world. Working with the British High Commission expands our platform for industry innovation, collaboration, and meaningful cultural exchange.”

Niyi added that this edition of AFRIMA will place strong emphasis on strengthening global creative-industry relationships.

“Partnerships like this show just how relevant African music has become on the world stage. We’re honoured to collaborate with such an important institution, and we believe the impact will go far beyond 2025.”

The agreement, signed by Gill Lever OBE, Chargé d’Affaires, British High Commission Nigeria, aligns with the UK’s ongoing support for Nigeria’s creative industries through enhanced cultural exchange and innovation. She said:

“The UK is delighted to partner with AFRIMA to celebrate the extraordinary creativity and talent of Africa’s music industry. This collaboration reflects our commitment to strengthening cultural ties between the UK and Nigeria, and across the African continent. Our Jollof and Tea campaign has shown us the power of bringing people together through culture, and we’re excited to build on that spirit. We look forward to a week of celebration that showcases the very best of African music and opens new doors for creative exchange and collaboration.”

 

Across the five-day celebration, the 9th AFRIMA will deliver a lineup of key events including the Diamond Showcase (Jan 7–8), the Africa Music Business Summit (Jan 8), Host City Tour and CSR Visit, the Music Village Concert (Jan 9), the Nominees & Industry Party (Jan 10), and the Red Carpet and Grand Awards Night (Jan 11). The awards ceremony will be broadcast live to more than 84 countries, ensuring the excitement reaches audiences around the world.

  156. Thanks for the different tips discussed on this site. I have seen that many insurance companies offer shoppers generous reductions if they opt to insure multiple cars with them. A significant number of households possess several vehicles these days, specially those with old teenage children still residing at home, as well as savings in policies could soon increase. So it is good to look for a great deal.

  162. Thanks for your short article. I would also like to say a health insurance dealer also works best for the benefit of the particular coordinators of your group insurance policy. The health agent is given a listing of benefits needed by somebody or a group coordinator. What a broker will is seek out individuals or coordinators which in turn best fit those desires. Then he shows his referrals and if all parties agree, the broker formulates an agreement between the 2 parties.

Depending on the credit cards, you may get 1 returning on most expenditures, and 5 back on purchases made using convenience stores, gasoline stations, grocery stores as well as ‘member merchants’.

  167. Thanks for helping me to obtain new suggestions about desktops. I also have belief that certain of the best ways to help keep your laptop in excellent condition is to use a hard plastic material case, and also shell, which fits over the top of one’s computer. These kind of protective gear are generally model specific since they are manufactured to fit perfectly over the natural outer shell. You can buy all of them directly from owner, or via third party places if they are readily available for your notebook computer, however only a few laptop will have a shell on the market. Just as before, thanks for your points.

  171. Thanks for the a new challenge you have unveiled in your post. One thing I want to discuss is that FSBO relationships are built after a while. By bringing out yourself to the owners the first weekend their FSBO is actually announced, prior to masses begin calling on Thursday, you create a good relationship. By sending them methods, educational resources, free accounts, and forms, you become the ally. By taking a personal curiosity about them plus their situation, you generate a solid connection that, most of the time, pays off when the owners opt with a broker they know and trust — preferably you actually.

  188. Hey would you mind stating which blog platform you’re using? I’m planning to start my own blog soon but I’m having a tough time deciding between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something completely unique. P.S Sorry for getting off-topic but I had to ask!
