Former Future Awards Co-founder, Emilia Asim-Ita is dead. She died on Friday after complications from appendicitis surgery.
This was confirmed by AML Media, the company she co-founded.
“Words fail us. You were more than a boss. You were a friend, an inspiration and an outstanding person. You will forever remain in our hearts. Rest well, Emilia”, AML said.
Emilia was in her 30s before her death. She was a brand strategist of AML. She worked with many brands, media and non-governmental establishments.
The idea of the Future Awards was to celebrate the achievements of young Nigerians between 18 and 31 in divergent fields of endeavour to counter the criminal image that the foreign media was giving Nigeria.
Emilia co-founded AML Media 10 years ago after ending her partnership with Chude Jideonwo and Debola Williams at Red Media.
