Ikenwa Nnabuogor of SCORENigeria has been nominated for the Journalist of the Year Award in the Print/Online category by the prestigious Ballers Awards.
Nnabuogor is up against three other nominees for awards which will hold later in the month.
The IMT Enugu and Babcock University Illisan-Remo graduate who currently pens for the Nigeria’s leading all-soccer portal SCORENigeria contends with the 2019 winner Goal.com’s Shina Oludare, France -based Babatunde Ojora and Premium Times’ Feranmi Omoniyo for the title of the best Nigerian print/online football journalist for 2021.
The 1996 Mass Communication graduate is regarded as one of the country’s most traveled football writers with vast experience spanning over 15 years and renowned for his immense contributions towards Super Eagles and the Nigerian football in general.
An authority in the Nigerian players abroad with many years of experience writing for Complete Football, KICKOFF Nigeria, FOURFOURTWO Nigeria as well as GOAL and National Mirror newspapers, Nnabuogor is expected to nick this award.
He teamed up with his former KICKOFF and FOURFOURTWO boss, Samm Audu at SCORENigeria four years ago as the Managing Editor to continue a tag team that has stood the test of time.
