After 20 years, Agatha Amata to step aside as host of ‘Inside Out’

Agatha Amata is set to step aside from hosting the famous ‘Inside Out with Agatha’.

Regarded as Nigeria’s longest running independent television talk show, ‘Inside Out with Agatha’ is set to celebrate its 20th year anniversary with a reality show called ‘The Search’.

The 7-week reality show will at its end produce the next presenter of the show.

Agatha Amata, founder and presenter of Inside Out, said: “The purpose of the reality TV show is to call on young Nigerians who are passionate about carrying on with the legacy of the program.”

“I am not concerned if the next person to take the presenter role is either male or female, but the perfect feet to be someone who is passionate about people (in line with the vision of the program: Touching Lives, Changing Society).

“As Inside Out celebrates her 20th anniversary, we are excited at the development we have recorded so far and we use this opportunity to appreciate everyone, including corporate bodies who have contributed to the success of our program,” Amata said.

An audition will take place on May 22 to select contestants for ‘The Search’ reality show.

Amata’s farewell recording as host of show, “Nigeria Beyond Oil: The Future,” will take place on August 4.
