According to the organisers, the 25 nominees made the final list after a careful screening of the over 75 nominees initially received for the award.
Speaking with our correspondents on Monday, the Project Director for Africa, Peace Ambassadors Agency, Amb. Kingsley Amafibe said there are lots of sons and daughters of the Northern region who are making frantic efforts to lift the bar of effective leadership in the region.
He said a lot of good things are going on in the Northern part of the country which according to him are under-reported.
While stating that insecurity has dwarfed catalogue of achievements made by notable personality in the region both in and outside the government, Amb. Emafibe underlined that this award seeks to recognise and encourage such personalities for being the shining stars in their respective domains.
While admitting that the region is faced with some peculiar challenges, Amb. Amafibe therefore observed that celebrating the positive records that have been made in the region by its indigenes will be a pathway for bigger victories.
The event which will take place at Sheraton Hotels Abuja is expected to attract notable personalities, including top political office holders, entertainers, entrepreneurs, top business executives, labour leaders and lots more.
