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.

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.
“I’m excited to host this elite event, and I look forward to giving guests an exhilarating experience,” said Frank Edoho. “It’s the biggest stage in business, so I encourage CEOs and founders to be in the room.”
The 2025 edition, which is themed ‘Trailblazers of a Rising Continent”, features 18 competitive 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 IBM programme manager, U.S. Navy veteran, and global mentor known as “The Wisdom
Broker”—will bring insights on execution, innovation, and transformational influence.
