MAX FM Gets Its NBMA Moment
According to the official nomination letter dated August 25, 2026, the Nigerian Broadcasters Merit Awards nominated MAX FM 102.3 in the Best Radio Station (Lagos) category.
For a station that connects music, entertainment, conversation and the everyday rhythm of Lagos, the nomination represents a significant moment for the MAX FM team and its listeners.

Background & Context
The Nigerian Broadcasters Merit Awards recognises broadcasters, broadcasting organisations and other contributors across Nigeria’s media industry.
This year’s ceremony marks the awards’ 7th edition. MAX FM will also compete in the Best Radio Station (Lagos) category.
The nomination therefore places the station within a broader industry conversation about radio broadcasting and the work that happens both behind the microphone and in the digital space.
The Listener Conversation
The nomination has also opened a new conversation with the MAX FM audience through the public voting process.
Rather than relying on unverified social media reactions, MAX FM listeners can participate directly by voting through the official awards platform. This keeps the conversation connected to the confirmed nomination and the voting process.

Why It Matters
Radio continues to play an important role in Nigeria’s entertainment ecosystem. It brings together music, personalities, culture, information and audience interaction, often in real time.
For MAX FM, the NBMA nomination provides an opportunity to recognise the work happening across its broadcasting operation while also bringing its listeners closer to the awards process.
The nomination also reflects how the station’s on-air presence and digital audience continue to intersect in today’s media landscape.
What Happens Next
The public voting period closes on October 5, 2026. Following the voting period, the 7th Nigerian Broadcasters Merit Awards will hold its awards night on October 10, 2026, at Oriental Hotel, Lagos.
Until then, MAX FM remains in the conversation as listeners take part in the voting process.
