The Association of Practitioners of Community Media in Nigeria has launched the APCOM Grassroots Impact Awards 2026, a national initiative to identify, recognise, document and amplify individuals, institutions and communities making exceptional contributions across Nigeria’s grassroots.
The APCOM President disclosed this in a statement made available to The PUNCH on Tuesday.
Built around the philosophy that recognition should follow impact rather than prominence, the initiative will spotlight measurable contributions across grassroots governance, community development, public service, education, healthcare, enterprise, innovation and community journalism.
APCOM President, Abayomi Adejumo, said community media practitioners were uniquely positioned to identify such stories.
“Nigeria’s story is not written only in Abuja or our state capitals. It is written every day in our local governments, wards and communities. Community media is not merely close to these stories; we are close to the evidence,” Adejumo said.
