Emilia Asim-Ita, a former Red Media partner and co-founder of The Future Awards, has passed away.
The graduate of mass communication breathed her last on Friday. The cause of her death is, however, yet to be revealed.
The management of A’Lime Media, her organisation, confirmed the sad news in a short message on its social media page on Friday.
“Words fail us. You were more than a boss. You were a friend, an inspiration and an outstanding person. You will forever remain in our hearts. Rest well, Emilia,” it wrote.
Words fail us.
You were more than a boss. You were a friend, an inspiration and an outstanding person.
You will forever remain in our hearts.
Rest well, Emilia. pic.twitter.com/6IrrBPLovE— AML (@AlimeMedia) January 29, 2021

Emilia Asim really wanted to create a book with me. Conversation was ongoing, and I found her to be kind, warm and considerate. She always had so much to give. This is heartbreaking.
Rest in peace. 💔🕊
