The event would also be used to honour select individuals and organisations.
According to a statement released by Simon Ibe, publisher and editor in chief of the publication, the event is coming at the right time to spark discussions that will lead to national action.
“The programme is expected to bring to the front burner of national discourse, the connection between patriotism…and the need to tap the vastly untapped potentials of the country,” he said.
