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 are very energetic and talented, and if such energy isn’t channeled properly, they lose focus and drive. That is why the NTCA brand is keen on promoting and encouraging them, to ensure they feel the drive to do more.
Nigerian Teen Choice Awards is a brand initiative of Nelz Global Concepts Limited, an organization committed to the development and discovering of creative talents amongst the Nigerian/Africa Teenagers and youth for the good of our society.
