While Davido, alongside Emmanuel Adebayor, presented the award for the ‘Young Female Footballer of the Year’ to Ghana’s Evelyn Badu, Okocha presented the award for ‘Goal of the Year’ to Papa Ousma Sacho of Senegal.
Tiwa Savage joined other performers to thrill guests at the awards. She performed two of her hit songs, ‘Koroba’ and ‘All Over’.
