Today, all roads lead to the Merit House, Maitama, Abuja, venue of The Parliament Diary Media Group 3rd Anniversary, Public Lecture and Awards Ceremony holding by 12noon.
The public lecture titled “Rebuilding the Broken Walls: A Collective Responsibility” to be presented by Dr. Joseph C. Ibekwe, Director, FLED International Leadership Institute Abuja is to project the positive impact Unity and Peace benefits progressive thinking and growth in Nigerians and Nigeria.
The highlight of event is the celebration of 15 winners for either their extraordinary achievements, resourcefulness, or usefulness in public humanities.
A release last week disclosed that The Parliament Diary Awards was created to serve as a mark of individual and enterprise excellence in Nigeria.
The aim of the Award is particularly to turn the current pessimism surrounding disciplined leadership and patriotic public service issues into optimism by celebrating the people driving change, including philanthropic individuals, companies and products.
A lineup of important dignitaries are attending the event.

Since the inaugural awards in 2021, each year The Parliament Diary Awards recognises outstanding leaders and organisations, who have during the year under review, or over time delivered value to society through their activities or organizations, which qualifies them to be recognized as change leaders.
These 2023 honorees of The Parliament Diary Awards form a cloud of inspiring examples of how accountable leadership and humanitarian service is still being displayed and encouraged by some citizens, thereby gradually removing undue barriers and instilling confidence in the Nigerian citizen and State.
