Funmi Adeyina – Brand Manager BON , disclosed that a “nominee reading drive” will kick-off this year’s BON Awards. The Nominee Reading Initiative will take the various nominees to various schools and give them an opportunity to interact with promising young Nigerians, read with them and advice them on the importance of education.
In 2010, BON decided to honour the” Scandal Free Actress of the Year” with a special award – SUNLIGHT Partnership Award for Clean and Fresh Actress of the Year; this year’s special award is focused on something different – it is an award for the “Best Kiss” in a movie. According to the brand manager, “In addition to rewarding excellence and hard work in Nollywood, we have decided to add some spark of excitement to the event this year by introducing the Best kKss in a Nigerian Movie category. The category has some strong contenders which includes Uche Jombo & Kalu Ikeagwu in Damage, Odunlade Adekola & Toks Oke in Booku, Tonto Dike & Muna Obiekwe in Dirty Secrets and Majid Michel & Genevieve Nnaji in Bursting Out.“
