Nigeria animated series Iwájú, co-created by Nigeria’s Kugali Media and Disney, has secured three nominations at the 3rd Children’s & Family Emmy Awards.

Simisola Gbadamosi, who voices Tola Martins, leads the honours with a nomination for Younger Voice Performer in a Preschool, Children’s, or Young Teen Program. The show also garnered nods for Best Children’s or Young Teen Animated Series and Directing for an Animated Series for the episode “Kole.”
