The 17th ThisDay Annual Awards is here again and the 2012 edition according to organizers will be ‘celebrating Nigerian women of distinction and lifetime achievers’
‘In a world dominated by men, they have broken barriers, touched lives and made a difference‘, ThisDay says as it has fielded 45 women in the ‘Women of Distinction’ category, ranging from politics to entertainment.
The ‘Lifetime Achievers’ however sees less honourees as only 25 candidates have been chosen. Legal practitioner Priscilla Kuye is the only woman who makes the list. ‘In a lifetime of service to the nation and mankind, they made their marks’.
Amongst the very popular faces who have made this year’s honouree list is veteran singer Onyeka Onwenu who ThisDay says is being honoured for her ‘contribution to journalism and the arts’. Others include Toyosi Akerele of RISE, lawmaker Abike Dabiri, Sefi Atta and billionaire businesswoman Bola Shagaya.
