Yovchevska added: “The recipients were chosen through a rigorous process of measuring their contributions to their states, communities, and agencies. NEAPS was set up as a platform for inspiring greater patriotism, promoting innovation and recognising individuals at the forefront of efficient public service delivery.
“The awards are to further encourage individuals and institutions that have demonstrated patriotism, diligence, innovation and reforms in order to change the fortunes of the entities they lead.”
The maiden edition of the NEAPs Awards held in October 2022, at the State House Conference Center, Abuja, honoured 44 Nigerians, with the then President Muhammadu Buhari presenting the awards.
Over 60 per cent of the winners of the well-attended maiden NEAPS Award in 2022 have continued to make progress in politics and business. They include Wike, who is now FCT Minister; NNPC GCEO, Mele Kyari, who was given a second term by President Tinubu; Gbajabiamila, who is now the Chief of Staff to President Tinubu; Fintiri who got a second term and Sule who also secured a second term.
