“The Feminine Nigeria Achievement Awards were established to identify, publicly recognize, and reward women who have demonstrated exemplary personal and professional conduct.”
“It is also for women whose achievements in the Nigerian corporate and public sectors have been outstanding.”
“The event seeks to recognize women in Nigeria who have excelled in various fields, such as entrepreneurs, professionals, corporate executives, senior public sector managers, diplomats, sportswomen, and traditional rulers, among others.”
“Awardees will be chosen by the Nigerian public, who will first nominate entrepreneurs, professionals, corporate executives, senior public sector managers, diplomats, sportswomen, and traditional rulers for consideration after due diligence verification of the nominations.”
“The public will then vote for the shortlisted nominees, with the recipients of the most votes in each sector under a specific category declared the winners by the scheme’s official validation partners,” the organizers said.

According to NAN, the organization formerly hosted prizes such as the Business Executive Excellence Awards, Ghana Development Awards, Environment Health and Safety Awards, and Ghana Philanthropy Awards.
