Benin City, Nigeria – The 7th edition of the prestigious Best of Edo Awards is set to take place on October 20, 2024, at the Victor Uwaifo Creative Hub, Airport Road, Benin City, at 3 PM. This year’s event promises to be a landmark occasion, recognizing businesses and organizations that have demonstrated excellence in customer service, product quality, and innovation.
With the theme "Building a Moral Economy: Strategies for Sustainable Development," this year’s awards aim to spotlight the role of businesses in shaping a sustainable and thriving economy. Attendees will witness a high-powered inaugural lecture that will set the tone for creating ethical, growth-driven business practices in Edo State and beyond.
A major highlight of the event is the remarkable performance of the business sector, which will claim 65% of the awards, a testament to the positive impact of the Edo State Government’s Ease of Doing Business policies. These policies have fostered a more business-friendly environment, allowing enterprises to thrive and deliver exceptional products and services.
Kelvin Uwaibi, Managing Director of the Edo State Investment Promotion Office, praised the business sector’s achievements, attributing their success to the government’s strategic initiatives. “The response from businesses has been outstanding, and this year’s awards are a reflection of that success,” he remarked.
The awards, selected through a public survey, honours not only private businesses but also ministries, departments, and agencies (MDAs) that have excelled in providing quality services to the public. This public-driven process makes the awards truly reflective of the sentiments and experiences of Edo residents.
Paul Ofoni, CEO of the Best of Edo Awards, emphasized the significance of the event: “This celebration is more than just an award ceremony. It’s an annual tradition that brings together high-net-worth individuals, businesses, youth, and the public to celebrate those who are shaping Edo State’s future. It is a symbol of excellence and a platform for honouring contributions to the socio-economic and cultural development of our state.”
The Best of Edo Awards has become a beacon of inspiration, motivating businesses, young entrepreneurs, and public institutions to continue striving for excellence. This year’s event promises to deliver more sophistication, entertainment, and inspiration than ever before.
We invite businesses, individuals, and the general public to be part of this grand occasion. Join us as we celebrate the best in business, service delivery, and innovation in Edo State!
