 The Coordinator, #UNLEASHSeasonV, Princess Aderoju Ladega posited in the official press release that “our resolve to rebrand and repackage the content and resultatnt effect of the project UNLEASH Your Talents series led to the delay in selection of the finslists. We had to go through the painstaking process of collating results from the Judges recommendation from stage 1 of the audition, the contestants’ online rating, their behavioural tendencies and finally the scores from the Final audition before arriving at this list.”

 On why the additional Three as against the traditional Twenty, Princess Ladega stated that “it relly was a tough call especially in the Dance, Modelling and Music segment. While collating the results, we just couldn’t afford to entertain any form of sentiment, we tasked ourselves with the sole objective of bringing out the best only on merit and without any form of bias. Also, we discovered one or two of the contestants had their rating at par, forming a tie, hence, we had to give them the chance to prove their mettle at the camp and finally at the Grand finale.
