The Management and Organizing Committee of the annual TopFlyers Magazine International Award have thanked invited guests and awardees who graced the Magazine’s annual award ceremony that held at Sheraton Abuja Hotel on Saturday, 27th August.
The star-studded event attracted dignitaries from all works of life. Addressing the press in Abuja on Monday, the CEO of Pysmaco Ltd, Publisher of TopFlyers Magazine International, Musa Yahaya, said he was overwhelmed by the large turnout of people at the event.
Musa said TopFlyers Magazine had been telling stories of hardworking Africans and Nigerians who have excelled in their careers and have become topflyers in a society with so many hurdles for one to become successful.
He said the idea of the award was to recognize and honour those topFlyers, to spur them to do more for their society and encourage others. He said the selection Committee did a thorough job to come up with the list of awardees, who, he said, merited the award.
Mr Musa thanked all those who made out time to attend the event and/or contributed in one way or the other to make the event a success. He said he looked forward to partnering with interested individuals and groups for the 11th edition of the award and the subsequent editions.
