MEGA 2020 Organisers Assure Hitch-Free Process As Voters Flood Platforms

Barely a week after opening public voting for the Music and Entertainment Gospel Awards (MEGA) 2020, organisers say the voting platforms – MEGA website and Facebook page have witnessed an unprecedented traffic.

MEGA, birthed in 2013, honour and celebrate Nigerian music talents in the gospel genre. The awards’ focus include exposing and publicising the creative talents of gospel artistes and entertainers, some of whom are under-celebrated despite their brilliant artistic contributions in Nigeria’s creative industry.

The awards organisers had on Saturday, October 10, opened public voting and voters in their numbers have flooded the platforms to vote their preferred nominees.

A statement by the MEGA’s Media Committee said the November 15 event has so far attracted unprecedented support from members of the public trying to support their favourites to win in the 15-category awards.

“We are impressed with the groundswell of support from the voting public trying to help their favourites to win.

“We are monitoring the process meticulously and have taken steps to ensure the voting platforms are safe, secure, and hitch-free,” said Adeyemi Aseperi, MEGA’s Head of Media and Publicity.

Aseperi further enjoined voters to continue to support their favourite artistes through the voting links: http://www.megawards.org/mega2020 and Facebook voting page: (https://facebook.com/mega.voter2020), until the close of voting on October 31.

“Also, information on the event, designed as a remote ceremony in observance of pandemic protocols, is on the Award’s official Twitter (@tweet_megawards) and Instagram (@mega_awards) pages,” he added.
