The 2024 Africa Illustrious Awards will hold tomorrow at Lagos Oriental Hotel, Lagos State.
In its fifth year, the award honours African contributors to the continent’s progress.
There will be recognition for Africans in tech invention and innovation, entrepreneurs changing the face of business and investment in Africa. There will also be awards for community service, public administration, political governance, corporate governance, youth leadership, others.

According to the conveners, not much attention is paid to efforts toward building a functional African society. “But maladministration and other lapses in Africa are echoed with such intensity that often suggests a lack of progress. Therefore, the award showcases the other side of Africa not recognised by the world.”
It is expected the event will continue to highlight need for a sustained progress and prosperity through shared vision, hard work, and tenacity in Africa.
The event will attract leaders of industries, political leaders, tech innovators, inventors, youth leaders, community leaders, administrators, and other trailblazers in Africa.
