Winners have emerged at the second edition of the Nigeria Most Respected CEO awards, held recently in Lagos.

The award was put together by NG Buzz Executive, Abuja, in collaboration with the Federation of West Africa Chamber of Commerce and Industry (FEWACO), International Business Council Africa and Africa Chamber for Trade.

Award organiser, Baroness Paulette Kporo, said: “The award is conceived because we realised a vacuum in the reward system in the corporate community in Nigeria. We conceptualised the awards to identify and publicly recognise the CEOs in various sectors of the economy.

“They are highly regarded and appreciated by various stakeholders.

They have contributed the most to the best corporate reputations in Nigeria.
