Veteran filmmaker and entertainment entrepreneur Wale Adenuga has received the Lifetime Achievement Award for Broadcasting and Entertainment at the seventh Nigerian Broadcasters Merit Awards.

He was honoured at a ceremony held at the Oriental Hotel, Lagos, in recognition of his contributions to broadcasting and entertainment and his impact on Nigeria’s media industry.

The award ceremony was organised by the Independent Broadcasters Association of Nigeria.

Adenuga is the creator of popular television productions, including Superstory, Papa Ajasco & Company and Akpan & Oduma. He is also the founder of Wale Adenuga Productions, Pefti Film Institute and WapTV, a family entertainment channel.

Reacting to the award, he said the recognition made the challenges of his career worthwhile and would encourage him to continue his work.

“Nothing can match the feeling of satisfaction when you are recognised for your hard work. The journey to where we are today has been a truly turbulent one, but gestures like this make it well worth it and encourage us to keep going.

“This should serve as a source of motivation and inspiration to the next generation of broadcasters, content creators and media professionals. We are truly nothing but pencils in the hand of the creator,” he said.
