BON Winners Children's day WReading: Omoni Oboli, OC Ukeje, Rita Dominic, others to motivate 5,000 children in Rivers State.

Past winners of the Best of Nollywood awards (BON); Rita Dominic, Omoni Oboli, OC Ukeje, others will on May 27th meet, motivate and read to about 5, 000 children chosen from different primary and secondary schools across Rivers state. This according to the organizers is part of activities lined up to herald the 2014 edition of the Best of Nollywood.
The BON Children’s Day event which would be chaired by the First Lady of Rivers State, Mrs Judith Amaechi, promises to be a memorable day for the kids as it would afford them opportunity to meet, take photos and have lunch with their favourite movie stars; to participate in question and answer session and so on.
According to Seun Oloketuyi, Executive Director of the awards “May 27th is recognized across Nigeria as a day set aside to honour children. Therefore, since we have kid actors who win our awards, we thought it fit to incorporate a children-centred event in our pre-awards activities. More so, being an actor is one thing, winning awards and honours for acting is another thing entirely.
The actors we are taking to Port Harcourt are role models who enjoy huge following among children of various ages and races. Essentially, BON Winners Children’s Day Reading will see some of our past winners who inspire adulation among kids to meet with some of these kids, read to them and inspire and motivate them to reach for their dreams.”
