The Future Awards 2017 took place yesterday in Lagos state with a lot of pomp and pageantry.
The award is used as a platform to celebrate young Nigerians aged between 18-31 and encourage the youth to take control and grow within a society that hasn’t always given them the chances they deserve.
The show was hosted by Adekunle Gold and Mimi Onalaja while the keynote speech was given by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo.
