The new ‘IT’ girl of television Amira Ibrahim-Alfa, has been revealed as one of the new hosts for the new season of 53 Extra. The unveiling and revelation aired on the 53 Extra, an M-Net lifestyle programme on Monday August 7th 2017.

According to the Regional Director, M-Net West Africa, Wangi Mba-Uzoukwu,
“53 Extra has served as a spring board for many talented individuals who have also carved their own paths in other areas of entertainments. Which is why our carefully selected new hosts are not only talented and ambitious, they are driven with the passion to make their mark on the African entertainment scene. And it without a doubt, they will take the magazine lifestyle show to an all new height.”
Amira Ibrahim-Alfa, the beautiful daughter of former Chief of Air Staff, the Late AM Ibrahim Alfa and society lady, Kemi Adewunmi, came on the scene like a whirlwind, ticking all the right boxes that make for a good television and red carpet host.
