Best Radio Presenter: Jackson Wenigha a.k.a Family has become a landlord in this award because this is neither the first nor second time he has gotten the nod. He may just go home with it again.

Best TV Presenter: Samuel Udofia is one of the best newscasters and known TV faces around the Niger Delta Region

Fast Rising Comedian: Sir James is the President of Comedians Int'l in Akwa Ibom State and nobody cracks ribs more than he does. He surely has a budding profile.
