The Chief Executive Officer of Air Peace, Allen Onyema, has commended the credibility of The Sun Award, describing it as “one of the most credible awards in Africa with integrity.”
Speaking at the award ceremony which held in Lagos on Saturday, Onyema who was the chairman of the event, praised the selection of recipients, saying that all honorees deserved their recognition from what he called an “apolitical” media organization that does not do “junk journalism.”
Onyema said The Sun’s approach to journalism and its awards program is “What you see is what you get.”
He said: “The Sun Award is not for sale. It’s the best and I am proud to associate with this particular establishment in my own little way.”
The Air Peace boss praised several award recipients, including state governors who have distinguished themselves through their achievements.
He mentioned Enugu State Governor, Peter Mbah, whose work he said was undeniable, and Governor Dauda Lawal of Zamfara whom he praised for succeeding “in the midst of insurgency.”
Onyema used the occasion to emphasize national unity, saying that Nigeria has over 200 ethnic nationalities and urged award recipients to “imbibe and preach those things and profess those things that will bind us together.”
