The award was conferred on the former Lagos governor at a ceremony organised by the National Image Award (NIA) in Lagos at the weekend which coincided with the flag-off exercise of tuition-free cholarships for 3,000 Nigerians.
The Director of Media and Publicity of NIA, Mr Adekunle Akano, stated that awardees were selected due to their dexterity and dedication, as well as their outstanding contributions to their various fields.
He said the award given to Asiwaju Bola Tinubu was in recognition of his exemplary leadership and contribution to the development of the media industry in Nigeria.
‘’The award ceremony which was the 15th edition in the series also sought to reward the cordial relationship Tinubu established with the media professionals from his days as Lagos State governor and now,’’ he said.
The presidential hopeful who was represented by the Director General of All Progressives Congress Professionals Council, Dr Seyi Bamigbade commended the organizer for finding him worthy of the honour.
He pledged to continue doing his best in improving the media industry in the country.
