This comes as the award organizers, Face of Democracy Nigeria Project (FDN projects), says nomination is still ongoing for potential awardees in the 2025 edition of the annual award ceremony.
Awardees are usually selected from a pool of nominees who will be voted for conferment of award base on public rating.
The credibility is highlighted more on the benchmark put in place by FDN, which makes it impossible for nominees who fail to meet the minimum criteria to be awarded.
It has been described as Nigeria's largest hall of fame for women achievers who have left indelible legacies in their endeavours and in touching human life.
The award with the Theme: "Breaking Barriers, Building Legacies" is coming up May 23, 2025, will be held at Transcorp Hilton Hotel Abuja.
