Veteran actress, Bimbo Akintola will on January 1, 2017 step in the position of TV hostess, Funmi Iyanda to anchor the annual ‘Change A Life’ show. According to the founder of Change a Life, Funmi Iyanda in her Instagram message, she will step aside a little for others to take the show to new direction, as she will watch from far away while Ms. Akintola anchors the show.


"When l started change a life 14 years ago, I hadn't the resources for my urgency to help, l was only clear about my desire to do something and something that would carry on without me. The resources came, human and material.

"The foundation has been run by one of the first beneficiary for the past few years. Many families have come and gone, many of the little orphaned or abandoned tykes have graduated from university. I am thankful that little statement of intent 14 years ago became its own force for changing many lives.


"The annul change a life show was designed to challenge us to be better in the spirit of hope that a new year brings. I will miss the January 1st 2017 edition. It's time to let others take it in a new direction. I too will watch from far away as the fabulous @bimboakintola anchors a new dawn for the change a life show. It airs from 9am on NTA Network," she wrote.
