Ikejimba has beaten many odds to become a producer and remained steadfast in her commitment to producing the best shows Africa has ever seen.
Speaking on her 2024 nomination, she thanked the organisers for counting her work worthy of nomination. She said that after her film Truth won the award in 2020, she has been waiting for a second win, which she hopes will materialise on May 11. She noted:
“I’m humbled and grateful to receive my sixth consecutive AMVCA nomination. Anyone who knows me will acknowledge that I often put my blood, sweat and tears into the shows I produce.
Ikejimba is one of Africa’s most sought-after serial producers with works like, Calabar Festival Diaries, Big Brother Reunion, Shoot Your Shot, What Will People Say, Come Play Naija, and the more recently airing Husband Material and Overall Best.
She ventured into TV production as an associate producer on Moments with Mo. She has later proven that she has more to offer than producing reality shows or unscripted serials. She has also shown she can stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the best in producing original drama series.
In 2016, she landed her first commissioned project with Africa Magic, Hustle. She created, wrote, and produced Blink’s original 26-episode drama series, Truth, which won an AMVCA for ‘Best TV Series’ in 2020.
