Toyosi Ogunseye and Tolu Ogunlesi have won the awards in the past.

Three Nigerian journalists are among the 27 journalists that have been nominated for the 2013 CNN Multichoice African Journalist Awards.

The journalists include Tolu Ogunlesi for Freelance for Ventures Africa; Geoff Iyatse of the Guardian; and Oluwatoyosi Ogunseye of Sunday Punch.

Both Ms. Ogunseye and Mr. Ogunlesi have been recipients of the awards in the past.

The chair of the independent judging panel, Ferial Haffajee, who announced the finalists, said the competition, now in its 18th year, received entries from 42 countries across Africa including French and Portuguese speaking African countries.

Winners of the competition will be announced in Cape Town, South Africa on October 12, at an Award ceremony and Gala night hosted by Isha Sesay, host of CNN International’s ‘NewsCenter’.

Mr. Haffajee, commending journalists in Africa on their rising professionalism, said the judges were impressed by different stories presented.

“A tough table of judges was often visibly impressed by the range of stories presented to us. African journalists, as represented by our entries, have risen to the challenge of 2012. The big stories were well-covered. The small stories were not forgotten. We commend the

dedication of journalists who are very much part of a rising Africa with rising professionalism, increased appetite for tough and investigative journalism, an eye on those left behind and a deep commitment to telling good stories across many mediums,” Mr. Haffajee said.
