The Nigerian teen and the NTCA
Many Nigerian Youths and Teenagers are driving their own
future by fashioning opportunities for themselves by undertaking different
entrepreneurial ventures with the aim to bring out the hidden stars and
talents. Nigerian Teen Choice Awards has been passionately awarding outstanding
teens since 2012, and we are on the road to NTCA 2017.
Search online today the word "Nigerian Teenager"
all you see is negative news, teenage pregnancy, teen marriage and its
likes.According to a United Nations report in 2013, Nigeria had the highest
level of school dropouts, most of which were teenagers. The Nigerian
teenager is better than that.
The teenagers have been yearning for a platform and now they
are telling you - we exist, we have a platform...Nigerian Teen Choice Awards is
a platform of teens, for the teens and by the teens, but we cant do it on
our own, we need the encouragement of our parents and corporate bodies.
NTCA brand is aimed at Catching them young by recognizing,
encouraging and rewarding outstanding Teens/youth and personalities who have
imparted positively in their various fields of endeavor. We know that our teens
