The 2020 Rivers State Legacy Awards will this year be hosted alongside the 2020 Rivers State Economic Advancement Summit which is expected to attract an estimated 1,000 investment stakeholders from within and outside Nigeria.
The Rivers State Legacy Awards is founded to honour some deserving individuals and organisations who over the years have written their names in the sands of time in Rivers State and contributed in no small measure to the development of the state.
Opobo said the selection process for recipients for the award will be based on merit and nominees subjected to a voting process by members of the public.
