Meshioye said the journalists’ pens have greatly contributed to transforming the association’s slogans into a national imperative and accelerating the persuasion of the government to listen.
“A decade ago, this initiative was conceived to strengthen collaboration between the media and the association, while creating a platform to celebrate impactful journalism.
“For over five decades, the media has remained one of our strongest partners. You have been a driving force in the attainment of our goals; amplifying our advocacy, interrogating our policies, challenging our assumptions, and giving visibility to the realities of Nigerian manufacturers.
“Through your reportage, our positions on industrial policy, manufacturing competitiveness, energy security, local content development and the macroeconomics environment in general have remained firmly on the national agenda. For this, we remain deeply grateful.”
