In his opening remarks at the elaborate event at the Eko Hotel and Suites in Lagos on Saturday, Onuoha Ukeh, the Managing Director of Sun Newspaper, said the Sun Awards annually aim to recognize and celebrate Nigerians who have demonstrated remarkable success in their respective fields, despite the economic conditions in Nigeria.
According to Ukeh, the year 2023 was particularly noteworthy for Nigeria, marked by political events and the removal of petroleum subsidies. Despite the challenges faced by individuals and businesses, some Nigerians exhibited resilience, utilizing their skills to succeed in their endeavors. He added that the individual awardees have made a significant impact on their chosen careers and interests.
