Announcing the hosts, director of M-Net West Africa, Wangi Mba-Uzoukwu, said: “We are excited to present Minnie as the co-host of the 2016 edition of the AMVCAs. She joins an elite group of people who have hosted the most prestigious celebration of film and television talent in Africa. Minnie brings to the stage excitement, fun, intensity and wit; her pairing with IK guarantees a great show and there’s no doubt that our viewers are in for a great time.”
Minnie, who was thrilled by the selection, said: “I am very excited to be on the biggest platform for celebrating talent in Africa. The AMVCA recognises and celebrates film and television talent across Africa, and as a proud African, I am truly delighted to play a role in this celebration.”
