Tozali Eyeliner, a popular Abuja-based fashion and lifestyle news magazine, has said that its flagship annual Henna Ball Awards will hold on Saturday together with the launch of its Tozali TV’s onboarding on DSTV, the premium satellite television provider.
The Henna Ball and Awards Night 2022, the 7th in the series, is going to take place on Saturday, November 26, at the International Conference Centre in Abuja.
A statement signed by the Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of the media outfit, Barrister Maimuna Yaya Abubakar, said the Henna Ball is a corporate social responsibility initiative of Tozali Eyeliner Magazine, which promotes African culture and values in the areas of lifestyle, entertainment, arts and fashion.
Abubakar said the annual event is “dedicated to discovering, nurturing and showcasing emerging Nigerian talents in the nation’s alluring tapestry of talents.”
She said the theme of this year’s awards night, “The Importance of Peace in National Development,” is hinged on seeking vigorous solutions in communications, mediation, vigilance, tolerance and compromise towards achieving a more peaceful nation.
“Attention will also be drawn to the plight of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs), with a solid commitment to utilise large proceeds of the revenue that would be generated through sponsorships of events at the 7th Henna Ball & Awards Night 2022, towards supporting IDPs across the nation,” she said.
According to her, Governor Inuwa Yahaya of Gombe State will be the chairman of the occasion, while a former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Mr. Yakubu Dogara, will be the guest speaker on the topic, “The IDP Question As A Statin on North’s Conscience.”
The awards night will also herald the official launch of Tozali TV on the premium DSTV platform.
The statement, made available to the New Citizen, said: “Tozali TV, a lifestyle television channel that is also on the Startimes distribution network, Channel 183, and Canal+ Niger Republic, Channel 288, is expected to add variety to the DSTV content offerings from northern Nigeria and among Hausa-speaking communities across the nation.”
The managing director described the onboarding of the TV channel by the DSTV on Channel 393 as “a milestone, coming after more than 16 years of publishing the Tozali Eyeliner Magazine, one of Nigeria’s leading events, lifestyle and society publications.”
