Having succeeded
with the 2019 Nigeria @59 National Day Awards in Singapore, Trade Nigeria has
decided to bring the event home in 2020.
The event which is
designed to celebrate Nigerians who have distinguished themselves across all
works of life, will have 6000 people honoured in 60 categories, according to
the Chief Executive Office of Trade Nigeria, Hon. Nwabueze Buchi George.
“The vision is to Market Nigeria at 60 through encouraging education;
supporting cross-cultural exchange and inspiring excellence among the people” ,
adding that “The programme will carefully select and recognize notable
personalities from across Nigeria, who have distinguished themselves in
meritorious and selfless service to the nation from 1960 to 2020”.
Hon. Buchi George said the event will inspire more Nation building
activities in line with the Federal Government’s quest for quick economic
recovery and sustainability in the country.
Nigeria @60 National Day Awards 2020 will also hold alongside Nigeria
Economic Forum in FCT Abuja making up part of the 60-day programme
designed to celebrate Nigeria’s 6oth Independence in grand style. The
celebration is proposed to start from Tuesday September 1, 2020 to Saturday
October 31, 2020.
“We have a great
team who knows where to look when selecting people for the awards and the
process has already begun and we can’t wait for that day to come”, he said.
Developing partners
to the event include Federal Government through its agencies as well as state
governments and other private institutions.
