Notable among those recognised were the Auto Assembly Manager, Azdashir Ahmad; Marketing Manager, Karima Okunola; National Sales Manager, Chijioke Mbonu; Showroom Manager, Grace Anasiudu; and the Assistant Manager, Advertising, Wura Orimolade.
Anasiudu, whose award enlivened the atmosphere, was described as an experienced and competent, but very strict, manager.
The General Manager explained that the all-inclusive recognition was an indication that Mikano, as a matter of policy, is conscious of the fact that every worker’s input, irrespective of their position, is important to the company, and is therefore, appreciated.
Haidar thanked the workers for their contributions to the success recorded last year.
