It was yet another night of glitz and glamour on Sunday, November 10 at the Civic Centre, Victoria Island, Lagos when Business Hallmark Newspaper hosted some of the country’s shining stars in various fields on the occasion of its 2019 People of the Year Award.

Business Hallmark People of the Year Award is an annual event organised by the medium to celebrate institutions and individuals who have affected national development in positive ways in the course of the year.

The 2019 edition particularly witnessed conferment of accolades on some of the finest brains in the country’s public and private sectors who have stood out as trailblazers in their respective fields in the course of the year.

The event which was hosted by Nigeria’s former Ambassador to the United States and Chairman, Business Hallmark Advisory Board, Professor George and chaired by former Chief Executive Officer, Nigeria Economic Summit Group (NESG), Professor Anya O. Anya, witnessed colourful displays by the Lagos Cultural Troupe, Nigerian Police Band, among others who thrilled guests with acrobatic dances.

In his opening remarks, Prof Obiozor noted that the award was put together to honour achievers and encourage other Nigerians to aspire to greatness by doing right things.

This, he said, had become more urgent given the dire economic and social situations in the country and the need for expedited efforts to reverse the trend.

“The Hallmark People of the Year Award is an activity we have put together to honour remarkable and outstanding achievers in our country,” Obiozor said.

“Broken into several distinctive categories, the awards are our attempt at acknowledging profound and meritorious service while also endorsing the scrupulously selected awardees as beacons of hope and excellence that other members of the public and society are invited to emulate in the hope that one day in the future, they too would have done enough themselves to equally be celebrated.

“We find this task to be most ennobling particularly at a time like this when our nation is in dire need of heroes and exceptional citizens. We trust that through initiatives like this and the accompanying discourse that comes with it, we would would have contributed our own quota towards the greater Nigeria project.
