The maiden edition of the Guardian Manufacturing Excellence Awards 2017 in collaboration with African Development Studies Centre (Inc.) will recognize deserving sector players in the Nigerian manufacturing industry, who outperformed despite challenging economic circumstances in the year 2016, thus helping to spur growth and development, create new economic opportunities for citizens and communities as well as inspire the new generation of Nigerians in the manufacturing sector. The event will hold on June 30, 2017 at the prestigious Eko Hotel and Suites, Victoria Island, Lagos
Recall that the Nigerian economy plunged into a recession in 2016 that persisted for six consecutive quarters amidst the already existing challenges of perennial power outages, infrastructure deficit and the recent foreign exchange scarcity. These challenges affected the operational existence of many of the nation’s big and small manufacturing companies. Despite these, some sector players were still able to spot opportunities and maintain excellence by putting in more effort and resources to further engage the dynamic Nigerian market, address competition, adopt cost saving measure and step-up their drive for innovation and capacity building in order to do extraordinarily in 2016.
The Guardian, fully aware that manufacturing is a key driver of economic growth will through the award ceremony bring together industry leaders in the sector with a view to recognizing organizations and individuals that are driving and advancing the course of manufacturing in the nation.
For the different award categories, the award committee, made up of analysts well-versed with the developments in the manufacturing sector called first for entries from players in the sector and then employed objective parameters and criteria in the process of selecting and short-listing the nominees out of the many hundreds of manufacturing companies, institutions and businesses registered and operating in Nigeria, eventually unveiling the trailblazing companies listed as nominees.
