Organisers move Nigerian People’s Choice Awards to December
Organisers of the Nigerian People’s Choice Awards (TNPCA), have rescheduled the event to December 2018.
Originally slated for May, 2018, the event which is the maiden edition, according to the organisers is to enable more stakeholders pan Nigeria participate actively in the highly significant awards.
According to the organisers, the TNPCA is a timely initiative designed to promote the quality of governance in Nigeria and encourage public officials to be outstanding in the performance of their duties by celebrating exceptional elected public officials and political leaders for their contributions towards building the nation in 2018.
“Following extensive consultations with stakeholders nationwide, the consensus was that the inaugural edition should be moved to enable all participants to assimilate the full essence of the awards and actively participate in the process”.
Being a new initiative, the stakeholders say it is important to give Nigerians both home and abroad enough time to understand and appreciate the concept, thereby eliciting their fullest participation.
A statement signed by, Mrs Adenike Olufade for the TNPCA Team, the organisers say, “while there are several awards across the entire Nigerian political landscape in honour of political office holders, none gives the power to all Nigerians to vote for their best choices as transparently as this award has done.”
The statement furthers says every Nigerian would be given an opportunity to nominate their best performing candidates in all the categories with the chance to vote for any of the top 3 candidates shortlisted by a Jury in all the categories.
