Globacom Chairman, Dr. Mike Adenuga
Jr. (GCON), has been given the award of the ‘Entertainment Pillar of the
Decade’ in recognition of his immense contributions to the entertainment
industry in Nigeria in the last 10 years.
The award, according to a statement sent to SHOWBIZPLUSng from Glo's PR Unit, was given by Nigeria’s
foremost entertainment-focused publications, Entertainment Express and Sunday
Express. It was the highest of a number of awards conferred on individuals and
corporate bodies by the publications as part of activities marking their third
anniversary.
Globacom, Nigeria’s National Telecom
Carrier, was also recognized as the ‘Brand Supporter of Entertainment in
Nigeria’ at the grand ceremony graced by the crème de la crème of Nigeria’s
entertainment industry.
According to the Publisher of the
publications, Mr. Mike Awoyinfa, the Express Star Award, is the organisation’s
way of rewarding individuals and organisations that have contributed in one way
or the other, to the growth and development of the entertainment sector in
Nigeria.
According to Mr. Awoyinfa, Dr
Adenuga Jnr is being given the highest honour in recognition of his “matchless
contributions to the development and deepening of the economic potential of the
entertainment industry in Nigeria”.
The entertainment industry has
featured prominently in Globacom’s Corporate Social Investment (CSI)
initiatives, principally on account of the company’s chairman’s passion for the
industry.
Aside from direct financial
commitments including massive sponsorships, Globacom currently retains the
largest number of key players in the entertainment industry as brand
Ambassadors. The company has adopted the approach in the belief that by
actively engaging these key entertainment drivers, they in turn can positively
impact thousands of others who work with them and by so doing, help to grow the
sector and the economy.
Dr. Adenuga’s passion for growth is
not limited to the entertainment industry, but cuts across all the sectors of the
economy. In the last few months, Dr Adenuga Jnr has received an array of awards
for his contributions to various sectors of the economy ranging from business
to culture and tourism, sports and entertainment.
Globacom’s Director of PR, Events
and Sponsorship, Mr. Bode Opeseitan who received the award on behalf of Dr.
Adenuga, expressed profound appreciation to the organisers of the awards for
recognizing the contributions of the Globacom Chairman, whom he said, would be
further galvanized by the award to continue to support the industry.
The award for Globacom was formally
received by Mr. Dimeji Amao, Coordinator, GloWorld, Globacom, who equally
thanked the organisers and promised that the company would continue to provide
seamless communications services for Nigerians.
