Edoho to Host Masters of Industry Awards

Iconic broadcaster Frank Edoho has been confirmed as the official host of the Masters of Industry (MOI) Awards 2025, the first global African awards banquet in Nigeria, convened by Business Elites Africa. The black-tie business gala holds on Saturday, 29 November 2025, at the Landmark Event Centre, Victoria Island, Lagos.

To amplify the evening’s energy, award-winning brand influencer Tomike Adeoye will co-host the ceremony.

Returning to its African roots after two acclaimed editions in Jacksonville, Florida, where it celebrated Africans and African-Americans shaping the Black community in the United States, the MOI Awards is a premier platform for celebrating excellence, honouring visionaries, and building bridges between native African and Black diaspora entrepreneurs, leaders, and changemakers.

Edoho said: “I’m excited to host this elite event, and I look forward to giving guests an exhilarating experience. It is the biggest stage in business, so I encourage CEOs andfounders to be in the room.”

The 2025 edition, which is themed ‘Trailblazers of a Rising Continent”, features 18competitive award categories and one special honorary category. It spots standout performance across finance, energy, FMCG, technology, entertainment, and governance. Confirmed honorary awardees include Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu (Lagos State), Governor Uba Sani (Kaduna State), and Governor Peter Mbah (Enugu State).

Adding to the event’s global appeal, keynote speaker Wyman Winbush, former IBMprogramme manager, U.S. Navy veteran, and global mentor known as “The Wisdom Broker”—will bring insights on execution, innovation, and transformational influence.

MOI Awards founder, Ethelbert Nwanegbo, noted: “We created this platform to celebrate brilliance, not for fame, but to reward impact. If you build, invest, or lead in Africa, November 29 is your night.”

The Night Will Feature high-power networking session, award presentations, exquisite entertainment, red-carpet reception and VIP lounge, opening cocktail and strategic introductions among senior executives, and keynote addresses and high-level media coverage with exclusive interviews.

The MOI award is an unusual gathering of talents, capitalists and policymakers. It is a fertile ground for strategic networking, transnational dialogue, and business collaboration at the highest levels.
