Barely 48 hours after receiving award of Uncommon Courage in Governance and Protection of Humanity from the Tribune newspapers in Lagos, Governor Samuel Ortom is set to receive another prestigious award from the Nigerian Pilot newspapers.
The award of “Prestigious Man of The Year (defender of the people),” will be conferred on the Governor Thursday 12 December, 2019 at Sheraton Hotels and Towers, Abuja.
In a letter of nomination to the Governor by the management of the newspapers, the title described Governor Ortom as determined and selfless with people-centred policies despite persecution from high quarters, stressing that he never betrayed the trust and confidence reposed in him by people of the state.
The award ceremony is put together to mark the 10th anniversary celebration of the Nigerian Pilot newspapers.
