Zamfara Governor, Matawalle To Receive Media Friendly Governor Of The Year Award

Governor Bello Muhammad Matawalle of Zamfara State will be conferred with the award of Media Friendly Governor of the Year at the forthcoming Nigeria Media Nite-Out Award (NMNA).

This is in recognition of his exemplary leadership and contribution to the media industry.

Matawalle is now set to receive the award at the 15th Edition of the event for the cordial relationship he had built with media professionals since his assumption of office as Zamfara State Governor.

Besides, other dignitaries that will be honoured alongside Governor Matawalle includes Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babatunde Sanwo-Olu, his Kogi, Osun, Cross Rivers, Kano States counterparts, Yahaya Bello, Gboyega Oyetola, Ben Ayade, Abdullahi Ganduje respectively.

Former Zamfara State governor, Sani Yerima and a host of other prominent Nigerians will also be honoured.

However, speaking on behalf of the organisers, the Director of Media and publicity for NMNA, Mr. Ajibade Alabi, said; “The Governors particularly Governor Bello Matawalle will use the medium to address the press on his developmental strategies and achievements in the last two years.”

“The 15th edition of the award will be held on 19th September in Lagos. The awardees are picked due to their dexterity and dedication, as well as their outstanding contributions to their various fields.”

“Initially, we programmed ourselves towards July for the award in Zamfara State, where we intend to go with the winners and some selected top Journalists and Editors who will also tour Zamfara State to inspect the State Government’s projects.”

“Despite this new development, the glitz, glamour, and paparazzi that the award is associated with will not be taken away.”

The organizers, however, informed that if the security situation of the country improves, the highly octane event could be moved to the North for next year’s edition.
