The 2020 edition of the Africa Digital Communication Days (ADICOMDAYS) ended with the ADICOMAWARDS. Presented by TV5 Monde Afrique, the best African digital content creators were honored during this ceremony.
Many influencers and content creators who actively participate in the digital development of the African continent across several different categories, including Technology, Beauty, Humor, Adicom4good Migrations, Food, Young Talent, Travel, and more were awarded.
Two Ivorians were among the winners at the end of the evening: Influencer, Polus Agathon, nominated in the Tech category with digitalman.blog, and web humorist, Sehi Gaël Noël, better known as Segano, nominated in the Young Talent category.
Working as the Social Media Manager at the Radio Télévision Ivoirienne (RTI), Polus Agathon is not shy about his passion for the world of technology. Since 2016, he has also been a radio host on FREQUENCE 2, and, in 2018, he became a TV host for various programs to promote and implement Digital Media. In 2009, he also received the 8th National Award for the Fight Against Cybercrime in Schools.

Séhi Gaël Noël, known as Segano, for his part, holds a higher technician diploma in visual communication. After graduating, he started producing short comedy films on social networks.
