The event, held on Friday, May 31, 2024, was organized by Xodus Communications Limited with support from PayAngel (Ultimate Sponsor), Graphic Plus, and Kaya.
The event sought to celebrate companies and individuals who demonstrated outstanding performance in stewardship, health and safety, Corporate Social Responsibility, and innovation in the manufacturing sector.
Addressing the gathering at the ceremony, the Events Director of Xodus Communications Limited, Richard Abbey Junior, said this year's winners were carefully scrutinized by the awarding board and were focused on innovation in the industry with the ultimate aim of compelling individuals and companies to compete locally and globally.
According to him, the manufacturing sector's contributions to national development are impactful, and some manufacturers have stood the test of time by adding value and innovation over the years.
"This year's winners have gone through a lot of scrutiny, right from the awarding board, HSEQ auditors, and third-party consultants. We are here to celebrate and salute achievers in the industry," Mr. Abbey stated.
Meanwhile, Muhanad Yousif (Head of Strategic Planning, Resource Mobilization, and Partnership) at the Africa Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) also took the opportunity to urge businesses to collaborate freely with African countries to improve the standards of living.
