Briefing newsmen in Calabar earlier today (Friday), the duo of Comrades Iberedem Eshiet and Idorenyin Ukpong, the Treasurer of NANS Zone B covering South South/South East States and Chairman of the Awards Event Planning Committee respectively reasoned that this years’ event is a clear departure from past editions as it has expanded the scope and enriched the content to deliver a package that shall add value to the society and mould young minds to contribute practically towards the development of the universal human society. 
 
According to the student leaders, “this years Awards shall be presented in an atmosphere of knowledge sharing and youth mentorship, hence our decision to move it to June, to be organised as a Distinguished Personality Lecture and Awards event with the former Anambra State Governor, Mr. Peter Obi as Guest Lecturer”. 
 
On his part, the chairman of the Planning Committee, Idorenyin Ukpong highlighted that the Nominations Sub-Committee has in its Report listed many tested, trusted and inspirational Nigerian leaders for Honours. 
 
Said he, “We are glad to announce that this year’s Distinguished Personality Lecture and Awards event of NANS Zone Treasury Secretariat shall hold in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State capital later in the month of June, and on the recommendations of the Nominations Sub-Committee, we are pleased to unveil the following successful nominees; Governor of the Year, His Excellency, Nyesom Wike of Rivers State, Public Service Excellence Award, Mr. Babatunde Fashola, SAN, Dynamic Service Award, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, Outstanding Personality of the Decade, Senator Godswill Akpabio, and the Global Woman of Honour Award, Obiageli Ezekwesili whereas the immediate past Governor of Anambra State, Mr. Peter Obi shall deliver the Distinguished Personality Lecture”. 
 
Speaking further, the students hinted that the Awards which shall come in three categories shall also honour outstanding student leaders, pro education activists as well as student choice brands. 
 
On the motivation to convene the event, Iberedem Eshiet enthused that the need to prepare young people for their later roles as democratic citizens has become both apt and inescapable in view of the bleaking leadership and management of resources even when we must race along with the global community to achieve stated development goals, adding that, “at a time like this these, as students working with our partners, we hope to convene a veritable platform to remind stakeholders of their responsibilities towards achieving the goals of youth empowerment and functional education while mentoring student leaders to appreciate their later roles as democratic citizens”.
