Akwa Ibom State Governor Godswil Akpabio will be conferred with the award of the Manager of the Year by the Nigerian Institute of Management (NIM).
NIM President Michael Olawale-Cole said the award followed the extra-ordinary performance and efficient manner in which Akpabio has managed the state’s resources.
He said the Annual National Management Conference would hold in Uyo from September 15-17 where the governor will present a paper titled: ‘’Essentials of Good Governance in the Progressive Transformation of Nigeria’.
The conference is expected to be declared open by President Goodluck Jonathan at a gathering of 3,000 professional managers; government functionaries; decision makers; opinion leaders; policy formulators and top management executives in both the private and public sectors.
