The station’s News Editor Lasuba Memo presented the certificates of recognition to the artistes or their managers who have come on their behalf.

Singers WJ the King, Neetah Babe, Single Dee, and Talia Fisher were personally present and performed in the studio as they receive their awards one after the other.
