The Best of Edo Award is set to celebrate its 7th edition on Sunday, 20th October 2024, at the Victor Uwaifo Creative Hub, Airport Road, Benin City. Since its inception, the Best of Edo Award has stood as a beacon of excellence, recognizing the extraordinary contributions of individuals and organizations to the socio-economic and cultural development of Edo State and beyond. Over the years, the award has honoured prominent figures from Edo State.

Renowned for its high standard, the Best of Edo Award has established itself as one of the most prestigious awards not only in Edo State but also across the southern part of Nigeria. It continues to inspire, uplift, and celebrate those who drive progress and excellence in various sectors.

A new feature of this year’s event is the introduction of an Inaugural Lecture, themed "Building a Moral Economy: Strategy for Sustainable Development." This lecture is a critical addition, reflecting the need for discussions on ethical governance and economic sustainability. The lecture aims to inspire both the private and public sectors to adopt strategies that foster long-term growth, inclusivity, and corporate responsibility, driving development across Edo State.

The 7th edition of the Best of Edo Award is particularly notable for its significant focus on the business community. With over 65% of this year’s award recipients representing business brands, this year’s planning has spotlighted the critical role businesses play in the state’s development. By honouring these enterprises, the award underscores the importance of entrepreneurship, innovation, and corporate governance in driving sustainable economic growth.

The event will draw a distinguished audience, including CEOs, Managing Directors, traditional rulers, the clergy, heads of government and private organizations, civil society organizations, members of the Nigerian Labour Congress, Trade Union Congress, Nigerian Bar Association, Nigerian Medical Association, Vice-Chancellors of universities, Rectors of polytechnics, and political leaders. This esteemed gathering will make for a robust dialogue during the Inaugural Lecture and create a platform for both knowledge exchange and the celebration of excellence. It's going to be an evening of glitz and glamour.

The Managing Director of the Edo State Investment Promotion Office (ESIPO), Mr. Kelvin Uwaibi has been pivotal in ensuring the success of this year’s event. Through ESIPO’s collaboration, the business community has been mobilized and coordinated, creating an environment conducive to sustainable growth. Edo State has become a prime destination for investment, largely thanks to the agency’s proper coordination of the business sector, which has enhanced the state's economic attractiveness.
