Taye Currency Emerges Oyo NUJ Best Entertainer Of The Year

It was a honour done on one of the top Fuji artistes in Nigeria,  Ambassador (Alhaji) Taiwo Akande Adebisi popularly known as Taye Currency, at the gala dinner of the Nigerian Union of Journalists (NUJ), Oyo State. 

Speaking at the event, Chairman Oyo NUJ,  Comrade Ademola Babalola, said the choice of Taye Currency as the best entetainner of the year was because of his consistency in the music industry. "Hardly would a week passed without noticing Taye Currency performing at shows and events and his music in the stable of music marketers keep getting attentions and soaring higher."

"We did our visibility studies very well and we came to a conclusion that for the year 2021 he gain more popularity and attention among his contemporaries in the industry, and after much deliberation with our members we have no choice than to give him and we wish he continues and improve on it in the coming year."

In his response, Ambassador Taye Adebisi who was represented by his son,  Hon. Yusuf Oladeni Adebisi, Deputy Chief Whip in Oyo State House of Assembly, thanked members of NUJ and journalists for the honour. 

Hon. Adebisi made it known that his father is highly elated with the honor, that he was unavoidably absent because of the same reason he was nominated for the award, as he had to perform at an event earlier schedule in Shagamu. 

He said journalists are his friend and he will like it to remain like that and also willing to be part of any of their future events and program.

He prayed for greater achievements and progress for all members of NUJ and safety.  He, however, admonished members of the pen profession to always abide by the truth and be fair to all parties concerned when discharging their duties. 

The event, which witnessed several performances from different artistes, had in attendance top captains of industry; popular Nigerian actor Akin Williams, representative of Olubadan; FIBAN Chairman,  Comrade Seun Awodele among others.
