“The September 8 show will unveil three winners from the three different categories: singing, dancing and acting,”Dallaji disclosed.
According to him, the programme is aimed at developing and discovering talents while integrating the participants into the mainstream of society for nation building.
“Our primary objective is to showcase the talents of young people who are full of sadness because of their hopelessness but here is hope coming their way,” he added.
Designed into three categories, the talent hunt will see winners go home with contract deals worth N1 million each plus cash prizes to advance their career in their areas of creativity.
“We have a winner from each of the categories and we are talking of three winners from singing, dance and acting. Each of these winners will follow us to the United States of America for exposure.
Each of them will have a contract with regard to their field and they will have someone who will be there to sign them on,” he added.
Dallaji reiterated that ACTDF as an NGO has been doing a lot of humanitarian activities that have seen the less privileged being integrated into schools, taken care of through scholarship and other forms of developmental projects in communities where they need help.
