Recall that the heavily publicized annual ceremony was called off barely 78 hours to the D-day.

The coordinators had cited logistics challenge for the decision. They said ‘it was a tough call but it was inevitable’. The orgnaisers also said ‘the need to overhaul the concept, with a view to making it more purposeful also overwhelmed it’. The event was however rescheduled for a later date.

Advancing reasons for releasing names of winners for 2015 edition despite the fact that the ceremony was not held, the Coordinator of the award, Mr. Cally Ikpe said, “all other stages of the 9th edition of the NMVA was observed, from the call for entry, the nomination and to the online voting among other ancillary programs.

“It is imperative that the public is let in to what the result of the process is. Though belated, but we are pleased to announce the winners in the various categories for the 9th edition of the annual Nigeria Music Video Awards. In a short while, we will also let you know what the plans for the 2016 edition are”, he said.
