For a few days now, reports have surfaced on social media that Biola Alabi has resigned as M-Net Africa‘s Managing Director.
The story went viral days before the 2nd edition of the Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards set to take place on Saturday 8th March 2014.
BellaNaija Movies & TV followed up on the story with representatives at the company and they immediately sent us a reply.
Read the statement sent exclusively to BN;
M-Net wishes to confirm the strategic evolution of M-Net Africa MD Biola Alabi’s role with the pan African broadcaster.
Having served in this role at M-Net Africa for five highly successful years during which time she brought her well-honed business perspective and creative insights to one of Africa’s biggest entertainment companies, she has taken on a new strategic role with the organization, that of Managing Director: Special Projects.
In this capacity her portfolio now focuses primarily on the broadcaster’s flagship productions including but not limited to the AfricaMagic Viewers’ Choice Awards, the popular reality super series Big Brother Africa and several exciting new initiatives.
Meanwhile, reflecting the broadcaster’s rapid growth in the market, M-Net has named Wangi Mba-Uzoukwu as its first Regional Director, West Africa.
I love this outfit she is wearing…does anyone know who designed it?
I’m pretty sure the skirt’s from Tiffany Amber and possibly the blazer, too: tiffanyamberng.com/collection.php?collection_id=5&image_start=1#
I think it’s by Amede.
Hmm in Fortune 500 companies being assigned to “Special Projects” typically means they are giving your some time to find another job. Sad if this is indeed the case.
Interesting..
This lady is so damn beautifull….. The price of that smile must be one billion dollars(not naira)…..

***CURRENTLY IN JUPITER***
Ok. Glad she didn’t.
One classy lady.
LOL. “asgrl” you are so right! Special projects typically means you are fired but with grace period. Meaning you’re no longer adding value to the company.
This might explain why there hasn’t been much press to the upcoming award. Hope its a success tomorrow. I mean last year the campaign was HUGE and press was done miles into the future.
Not necessary fired. It could mean you are due for rotation (you’ve been in your current role too long). Because you’ve been good to the company, they are giving you time to find something else within the company cos they don’t want to lose you.
At least that’s how it works in my company.
I love her, U GO GIRL!
Me still no understand,which one be managing director – special project
