The Yoruba Movie Academy Awards (YMAA) is to confer awards on the renowned actor, Chief Adebayo Faleti,  and leading academic, Prof. Akinwunmi Ishola.

Also to be honoured on March 30 in Ibadan are Kola Ogunmola and Bisi Komolafe, both deceased Yoruba artistes.

A statement issued by Mr Tunde Oshinibosi, the Executive Producer of YMAA, said the award was a strategic move to re-brand and reposition the Yoruba movie industry toward achieving greater heights.

“We will continue the award because it is a motivational gesture to seek increased propagation of the Yoruba culture, race and ideals globally. Also, it is meant to honour and celebrate creativity among Yoruba movie actors and actresses as they propagate the Yoruba movie industry globally,” he said.
