Historic Partnership: NNCHOFA and NCAC Announce Monumental Global Event in May/June 2026

Abuja, Nigeria – November 12, 2025 – KuliKuli Entertainment USA (KKE) in strategic partnership with the National Council for Arts and Culture (NCAC), today officially announced the inaugural Northern Nigeria Celebrities Hall of Fame Awards (NNCHOFA), scheduled for May/June 2026 at the prestigious Transcorp Hilton, Abuja.

NNCHOFA is set to be the single most significant cultural and diplomatic event in the region, recognizing the profound contributions of 60 distinguished honorees—cultural icons, visionary leaders, and humanitarian figures—from all 19 Northern States and the FCT with a minimum of 3 personality from each state. The event is poised to deliver an unprecedented broadcast reach, projecting to over 2 million diaspora viewers and exceeding 10 million views across Nigeria.

A Platform for Cultural Diplomacy and Global Projection

The NNCHOFA is more than an awards ceremony; it is a formidable global platform designed to showcase the creative resilience and cultural depth of Northern Nigeria to the world. The event will feature high-level protocol, including the confirmed attendance of diplomatic representatives from countries including the United States, Canada, Australia, and Zambia, alongside State Governors and senior government officials.

The Director-General of the NCAC is expected to speak on the significance of the collaboration, positioning the partnership as a critical step in using cultural assets for national unity and soft power projection.

Dr. Francis John, Co-Founder of KuliKuli Entertainment USA, articulated the event’s vision: “We are building a legacy, not just hosting a party. The NNCHOFA is the crucible where heritage meets innovation. We are providing the infrastructure for a creative renaissance, ensuring that the excellence found in the North is not only celebrated but institutionally supported. This project is irresistible because it delivers a consistent return—not just in visibility, but in socioeconomic investment.”

• The Red Carpet & Media Blitz: A two-hour media spectacle featuring Nigerian and international media, designed to capture the glamour and prestige of the attendees and honorees.
