Yusuf Ageni, Corporate Affairs Adviser, NB Plc, said the choice of two hosts for GUS 8, as against one anchor person, is part of the new concept of GUS.

Interestingly enough, the number of contestants has been increased to 30. Hmmmmm, na wa oh. 30 people inside bush? That one go make sense oh. Abeg make dem copy BigBrother and introduce shower scene. I swear their show go move market well well.

Yusuf Ageni further added: “As we have said, 30 contestants will compete for the grand prize in GUS 8. The new course that GUS will be charting this year, the fun and excitement which we anticipate that it will generate, necessitated our choice for two anchormen this year,”.
