In his opening remarks at the awards ceremony, Sam Abu, country senior partner, PwC Nigeria, noted: “For a decade now, PwC Nigeria has focused attention and resources on enhancing the quality of media reporting in Nigeria as part of our corporate responsibility and societal purpose strategy. We started in 2013 with the annual Capability Enhancement Workshops for journalists and two years after we introduced the Media Excellence Awards as a platform to reward those who produce exceptional reports across all platforms in four categories namely: Business and economy reporting, Tax and fiscal policy reporting, Capital markets reporting and SME reporting.

“This year, we added two new categories to our Media Excellence Awards – Sustainability reporting and Special investigative reporting – in recognition of the importance of sustainability in all human endeavours and the advancement of investigative reporting in the country.
