Connect Nigeria Receives NACC Award: 2018 Media Partner of the Year

Nigeria’s foremost information portal, Connect Nigeria, has added another feather to its cap, for the company’s ingrained commitment to the development of Nigeria and businesses within the country. Barely a week ago, Connect Nigeria, was presented with the Nigerian-American Chamber of Commerce, 2018 Media Partner of the Year award, in recognition of the media company’s immense support of the NACC’s activities throughout the year. The NACC President, Otunba Oluwatoyin Akomolafe, lauded Connect Nigeria, for being a huge source of support to the Chamber in 2018, stating that the special recognition award is just a token of the body’s gratitude. Coincidentally, earlier on the same day of the NACC annual dance and awards, Connect Nigeria celebrated and issued a Certificate of Achievement award to 100 SMEs in Nigeria, via the Connect Nigeria Top 100 Emerging SMEs campaign. The award, sponsored by Union Bank, is part of our commitment to empowering 1 million SMEs, who will in turn significantly transform Nigeria’s business eco-space in the near future. From a total of 13,470 nominations from the general public, 100 businesses received the highest votes, and made our top -100 list. The winners deserved the limelight we brought to their doorsteps, and there’s yet more to come.
