The Pearl Awards Nigeria has inaugurated its Central Working Committee (CWC) to drive strategic initiatives and programmes for its 30th anniversary celebration and 2025 edition.
President of Pearl Award, Tayo Orekoya, emphasized the significance of early preparation, stating, “We want to make our 30th anniversary a memorable one, and hosting the Awards next year will allow us to plan an epoch event that showcases our commitment to excellence”.
Orekoya explained the rationale behind postponing the 2024 Awards, citing resource and time constraints. He highlighted the Board’s decision to streamline the hosting frequency, considering bi-annual or triennial events from 2025.
“The CWC’s mandate is special, with strategic initiatives and timelines to achieve. We appreciate your selfless service and dedication,” Orekoya said.
The committee is chaired by Mr. Sam Emehelu, with Mrs. Yemisi Lanre-Idowu as Vice Chairman (Strategy) and Mr. Elijah John as Vice Chairman (Sales & Innovations).
Other members include Mr. Lekan Adekoya (Board Secretary), Mr. Philip Braide (Special Adviser), Mr. Tosin Olagoroye (Secretary, CWC), and 17 others:
Vincent Chukwuka, Boason Omofaye, Nurudeen Olayode, Festus Odume, Niyi Makinde, Kayode Iposu, Olise Ebo, Yakubu Olaleye, Kayode Alabi, Ibukun Adesoye, Olisemeka Obi, Olabode John Wesley, Lilian Imoni-Oladipo, and Johnson Oguntuyi.
The Pearl Awards was established in 1995 as a private sector-led, not-for-profit, non-partisan, and non-governmental initiative. Its primary objective is to recognize and reward companies listed on the Nigerian Exchange Limited (NGX) for exceptional operational and stock performance.
By doing so, the Awards aim to promote transparency, accountability, and excellence in the capital market, thereby contributing to its growth and development.
The Pearl Awards has received endorsement from the Nigerian capital market regulatory bodies, including the Securities and Exchange.
