Adejoh bags Entrepreneur of the Year award

Serial entrepreneur and Chairman/CEO of Camey and Rock Holdings, Dr. Peter Adejoh, has been named Entrepreneur of the Year.

Dr Adejoh bagged the award at the just-concluded ICONIC RECOGNITION AWARD NIGERIA organised by Icons Events Nigeria/Ministry of Information at Sheraton Hotels & Resorts, Abuja.

According to the organisers, the award was conferred on Adejoh for his setting the pace in hospitality and financial services.

Speaking shortly after receiving the award, Adejoh said the honour was special to him because the award has brought everything home and it makes him so emotional.

The renowned philanthropist in his speech observed that if there is anything he wants to promote right now, “is the advancement of the Nigerian economy.”

He urged Nigerians to demystify failure, but promote advancement, self-development and human capital development because “if Nigerians don’t develop themselves, and by extension develop others around them, they won’t be able to make meaningful impacts on the society.”

He reiterated that Nigerians should not focus their attention on negatives, but focus their attention on positives and celebrate their successes.
