The Nigeria Gospel Music Awards (NGMAwards) is an annual event instituted by The Academy of Gospel Music in Nigeria to encourage gospel artistes in Nigeria who have used and are using their God given talents to promote and spread the gospel of Christ Jesus across and beyond the nation.
A cursory look at the Nigeria's entertainment industry shows that there is really no system of reward for gospel artistes; hence, the need to systematically encourage Nigerian gospel artistes is met by The Nigeria Gospel Music Awards (NGMAwards) project.
Voting is strictly in Nigeria, and done by sending the Nominees' code to 32811 via these network carrier: MTN, GLO, AIRTEL and VISAFONE. More so, voting ends on 25th of November 2013.
