The first ever YEN-Benue Fashion and Awards Night took place at Lush Events Center Makurdi, Benue state. YEN Fashion and awards night was born out of the desire to showcase the rich fashion we have in Benue state and to reward those that have contributed immensely to the growth of the Benue youths in one way or the other.

The red carpet started at exactly 5pm while the main event was schduled to start at 6pm but was delayed until 7:38pm when the national anthem was sang followed with prayers to declare the event open.
