The National Productivity Day was instituted by the Federal Government through the Ministry of Labour and Employment to promote local production of goods and services, as well as reward indigenous entrepreneurs who are contributing to the growth of the economy.
Speaking on why she was honoured with the award, the Honourable Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige said, “Mrs. Kofo Akinkugbe’s recommendation was based on the report of the National Productivity Order of Merit Award Committee after a rigorous selection process.”
While receiving the award, Akinkugbe said, as Africa’s Industry leader in card manufacturing and technology, SecureID would continue to be a trailblazer in the Smartcard and technology industry in the African sub-region.
“It is a good thing to be recognized by the Nigerian Government, it means a lot to us as an organization, it is an affirmation that we are doing something right and we will continue to do our best to contribute our own quota to the development of the Nigerian economy”.
