Notable members of the APC to be conferred with award of excellence

Plans are underway to confer prominent members of the All Progressives Congress, APC, with award of excellence.

Those penned down for the awards are State Governors, National Assembly Members, Federal Executive Council Members, Party leaders across board, Local Government Council members, Support groups, past heroes and heroines amongst others.

This was disclosed by former Kogi state Commissioner for Information, Dr. Tom Ohikere on Thursday.

Briefing journalists at the party headquarters in Abuja, Ohikere said the aim of the award presentation is to reward party members who have accomplished significant, measurable and observable performances that increased effective and efficient public service delivery in the APC led administration.

According to him, the selection of awardees will be based on records of service delivery and candidates must demonstrate a distinguished record of past and continuing excellence at promoting and projecting the ideals of the party.

He said, “The ceremony is a symbolic acknowledgement for all the awardees that the party truly appreciates their contributions, what they have done or continue to do for the party, their feats and exemplary achievements and contribution to the growth and development of the party and the nation at large. The award will therefore be a token of appreciation from the party.

“The productivity and performance award is to encourage and boost the level of performance by recognizing and appreciating party members and leaders who have distinguished themselves as public officials since the inception of the APC administration in the Federal Republic of Nigeria to stimulate replication by other members

“Essentially the program is to award chosen party leaders for high performance, higher productivity, achievements, prudent management of resources, milestones and foster the spirit of healthy competition among APC leaders and stakeholders.

“The gathering and celebration will underscore the vital role productivity has assured in the global community as productivity is a fundamental determinant of growth, social progress, improved standard of living, economic growth and human development.

“The ultimate aim is to further deepen and strengthen delivery of democratic dividends at all levels by the APC led administration for the consolidation and sustenance of democracy in Nigeria”.

The APC Leaders Merit Award is scheduled to hold on the 25th of November, 2023.
