The show will commence on February 6, 2022 and will be hosted by popular radio and TV personality, IK Osakioduwa.
In an exclusive with BitKE, Emmanuel Babalola, BINANCE Director, Africa, reiterated the company’s mission to drive mainstream crypto adoption in Africa in 2022 after a successful 2021 for the company across the continent.
Speaking about the Nigerian Idol sponsorship, Babalola said:
“In a world of diversity, music scales through differences and unites people of contrasting backgrounds. As such, it is a thrilling opportunity to sponsor the popular musical competition, Nigerian Idol as it is another step in our efforts to drive the mainstream adoption of crypto.
Nigerian music continues to take centre stage globally and it’s never been a more exciting time to support this.”
