The Event Director, Mr. Richard Abbey Junior, said the 40 under 40 Awards is to identify, honour and celebrate a cross-section of the nation’s most influential and accomplished young business leaders under the age of 40 from a wide range of industries who are committed to business growth, professional excellence, and community service and have risen through the ranks of their companies or industries at a relatively young age as a result of this.
“We believe that putting the spotlight on these young achievers will not only celebrate them but also build a strong platform for them by giving a voice and opportunities to the next generation of industry pacesetters while building a positive attitude in our youth to strive for excellence at a tender age.
“Year after year, we have seen outstanding individuals of trailblazers strive hard with dedication and perseverance by overcoming challenges and economic instability. These are the people we want to award.
“Our Awarding Board seeks outstanding entrepreneurs, executives, managers, and professionals in the public and private and non-profit sectors. It will recognise attributes such as achievements in business, experience, and innovation, vision, leadership, and community involvement,” Mr. Abbey disclosed.
This year’s edition, which is expected to attract some personalities including ministers of state, radio and television industry stakeholders as well as winners from previous editions, marks the 5th edition of the event.
