Africa’s flagship movie awards – the Africa Movie Academy Awards (AMAA), will no longer enjoy the sponsorship of the Bayelsa State Government and this is according to Governor Henry Seriake Dickson who said henceforth, the event would be private sector driven.
It would be recalled that the state government had been the major sponsor of the annual event since its inception in May 2005 but Dickson during his transparency briefing in Yenagoa, the state capital, said the state government will no longer spend money to fund the annual event.
