Messages of congratulations are pouring in for actress Bimbo Ademoye, singer Tems, and YouTuber Tayo Aina, who won big at The Future Awards Africa 2022.

The 16th edition of the TFAA was held on Sunday night, February 20, 2022, in Lagos, and was attended by many celebrities and public figures.

The TFAA is an annual award given to challengers and builders between the ages of 18 and 31 for their outstanding achievement during the previous year.

The purpose of the awards, according to the organizers, is to recognize trailblazers who have defied the status quo and redefined the norm in their respective fields over the past year.

This year's event was hosted by Nancy Isime, a dynamic actress and exceptional host who has previously won the award.
