THINKERS MAGAZINE’S UNIQUE ANNUAL AWARDS
When Thinkers Magazine was conceived as a bold, fearless and innovative magazine, among the ideals embedded in our noble vision were high ethical standards, editorial principles of the loftiest level, and so forth. Next on the list was the need to institute annual awards to celebrate personalities in public and private sectors who have made extraordinary contributions to the socio-economic development of the country and its people. The Magazine also honours outstanding institutions in the public and private sectors.
PERSON OF THE YEAR AWARD
Thinkers Magazine has instituted an annual highest award to be known as the Person of the Year Award as has been the practice globally. Our Person of the Year Award is a unique recognition that is reserved for a person who has sparkled beyond expectations in his or her field of endeavour within a given year. Such areas include academics, art, science, sports, economics, accounting, journalism, philosophy, accounting, politics, philanthropy, law, leadership, public service, civil service, community service, business, diplomacy, and so forth. In fact, the list is quite lengthy; suffice it to say that as long as a typical compatriot must have made exceptional contributions to the society in one field or the other of human endeavour, he or she qualifies to be considered for the critical award.
Accordingly, we have remained faithful to this tradition year after year since the Magazine made its debut some years ago. Beginning with the first edition through each and every subsequent version, the Thinkers Magazine’s Person of the Year Award has carved a niche for itself as a highly competitive and coveted award that is prized for being uncompromisingly impartial, transparent, incorruptible, and independent. Little wonder, Nigerians from different walks of life have found it expedient to step forward every now and then to shower encomiums on the highly acclaimed annual award for its quality and uniqueness in giving recognition to whom it is due.
OTHER CATEGORIES OF THE AWARD
Indeed, one of the refreshingly different things about Thinkers Magazine’s humble effort is that rather than being a run-of-the-mill, we deliberately decided to make it veritably fresh and unique in recognising people’s contributions to nation-building. Thus, apart from the Person of the Year Award, the Magazine has instituted various categories of the award. So much so that even the unheralded and little-known person out there making his or her own contribution to his or her community or nation knows that he or she too stands a reasonably good chance of being recognised like the well-known or well-to-do fellow.
The following are some of the categories of the award: Champion of Democracy and Peace in Africa, National Icon of the Year, Exemplary Leadership Award, Outstanding Politician of the Year, Governor of the Year, Minister of the Year Award, Philanthropist of the Year, Outstanding Senator of the Year, Outstanding Lawmaker of the Year, Outstanding Public Servant of the Year, Excellence in Civil Service, Entertainment Icon of the Year, Media Personality of the Year, Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award, Icon of Literature, Philanthropist of the Year, Outstanding, Legal Practitioner of the Year, Bank of the Year, Company of the Year, PR Agency of the Year, and Outstanding Public Institution of the Year, among others.
