Speaking on the vision behind the awards, President of the SSMEAwards, Sammy Wejinya, emphasized the drive for excellence across all sectors.
‘I have always been associated with excellence and my team at the South South Media and Entertainment Awards thought it wise to come up with this event which we believe will, in no small way, help in improving service delivery across board,’ he said.
‘This covers virtually all sectors of the economy, from revenue generation to sports, health to entertainment, banking to the academia, we have it all covered.
‘It is our belief that all key stakeholders will raise their game and consistently put their best foot forward, knowing that the SSMEAwards, and in extension, the wider society is watching. All of this adds up and we believe that we will be contributing our quota in making society a better place.’
