Man of the Year: The Everyday Nigerian

 

In a year marked by economic hardships, insecurity, and rising costs, the Man of the Year represents every Nigerian who persevered.

Enduring the realities of 2024, including high fuel prices and food costs, this figure embodies resilience and hope. Despite daunting challenges, the everyday Nigerian has navigated life with courage and determination.

This recognition celebrates their unwavering spirit and belief in a brighter future, symbolising the collective strength of a nation.

Young Person of the Year: Stella Erhuwuoghene Okotete

 

Stella Okotete, Executive Director of the Nigerian Export-Import Bank (NEXIM), has emerged as a beacon of progress.

Through initiatives like the Women and Youth Export Development Facility and the Nigerian Export-Import Bank Academy, Okotete fosters financial inclusion and export-import education.

Her extensive academic background, which includes certifications from Harvard and Oxford, complements her impactful public service roles, such as advancing sustainable development goals in Delta State.

As co-founder of the E’Girls Foundation, she champions women’s empowerment and youth development, making her a transformative force in Nigeria’s socio-economic landscape.

Company of the Year: Dangote Refinery

 

The Dangote Refinery, a monumental project located in the Lekki Free Trade Zone, Lagos, stands as a game-changer for Nigeria’s oil industry.

Its advanced infrastructure, including the world’s largest sub-sea pipeline network and a 435MW power plant, ensures self-sufficiency in oil production.

Beginning operations in January 2024, the refinery promises economic growth and stability, positioning Nigeria as a key player in the global energy market.

Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, Nigeria’s Minister of Interior, has spearheaded impactful reforms in justice, security, and disaster management.
