In her bid to unveil and celebrate excellence in Africa, My media Africa merged with a Tech Summit to organize a leadership award ceremony in a rich event at the Sheraton Hotel, Victoria Island, Lagos where she honoured some Africans who have gone the extra mile to carve out a niche for themselves in their chosen areas.
The Vice Chancellor of Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Professor Charles Okechukwu Esimone who became a Professor of Pharmacy at the young age of 37, received the award of Most Distinguished Vice Chancellor in Nigeria.
According to My Media Africa, the Convener of the African illustrious awards, the decision was reached by a team of seasoned professionals of different backgrounds who took their time to pay attention to details in order to see those who are making great impact but seemingly not recognized.
According to him, mainstream Media takes delight in focusing largely on all the wrong things about Africa.
He noted: ‘In the case of Prof. Esimone, he was unanimously named the Most Outstanding Vice Chancellor of Nigerian University by the team. What Prof. Esimone has done in Unizik in two years and silently, was of immense surprise to the team. He has delivered several infrastructure projects, provided an improved learning environment, created a better system of accountability, shown leadership and excellence, without making any noise, whatsoever, about it.’
