“Our unwavering focus on promoting and encouraging the advancement of African talents and models, and our long-held beliefs on how we strongly believe AYKO Agency can contribute to the industry, on an international level, means that we are fully prepared for the tough challenges. Our aim is to make the best of Nigerians and showcase them internationally. There is a richness in Nigerian talents and models, what is needed is opportunities”.

“We are looking to identify talents (actor/actress, singer/musician, painter/sketch artist, dancer, etc.) and models, with true potential. You must be over 18 years old and can come from any corner of Nigeria”, said the organizers.
