Africa\u2019s foremost philanthropist, Aliko Dangote has bagged a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Nigeria Employers Consultative Association (NECA), the umbrella body of employers in the Organised Private Sector in the country.<\/p>\n

It was indeed a night of honour for Dangote during the 2021 Employers Annual Excellence Award held in Lagos as his pan-Africa Conglomerate, Dangote Industries Limited (DIL) was named the \u201cBest Company in the Chemical and Non-Metallic Products Sector.\u201d+<\/p>\n

The awards were received on the industrialist’s behalf by a team of top management Officers led by the Group Executive Director, Strategy, Portfolio Development & Capital Projects, Mr. Devakumar Edwin.<\/p>\n

NECA President, Mr. Taiwo Adeniyi said Mr. Dangote was being recognised for his huge contributions to nationbuilding and economic development through his various investments and the attendant job creation opportunities.<\/p>\n

He described the business magnate as a torch-bearer in the private sector and commended his doggedness in investing in sectors that are capable of improving the nation\u2019s economic wellbeing and transition from importers to net exporters.<\/p>\n

Mr. Adeniyi explained that the Employers Excellence Awards meant to celebrate outstanding contributions of enterprise to national development are geared towards promoting and encouraging best practices in Corporate Performance, People Management and Industrial Relations practices amongst employers in Nigeria.<\/p>\n

According to him \u201cThe annual award provides a platform for identifying, ranking and celebrating the resilience, doggedness and outstanding performance of employers in Nigeria.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is to recognise and publicly award enterprises that have exhibited excellence in Leadership, Governance, Innovation, Corporate Performance and Human Resource Management (HRM) amongst others and provide a platform for discussion and agenda setting on the need to embrace best practices in Corporate Performance, People Management and Industrial Relations through a well branded, presented, and organised event.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis annual event equally provides feedback to participating employers on their status regarding attainment of best practices in Corporate Performance, People Management and Industrial Relations,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

The Group Executive Director, Mr. Edwin while receiving the award described NECA as a dispassionate organisation that promotes leadership, good governance, innovation, productivity and corporate performance, and “therefore Mr. Dangote cherishes the award coming from a quarter like NECA.\u201d<\/p>
