The committee wishes to appreciate all individuals and organizations whose nominations were received through our official Gmail channel.
While every nomination was duly recognized, some nominees have previously benefited from the award in past editions, hence, their names cannot be repeated again.
Therefore, in line with our commitment to promoting inclusivity and discovering new talents across Epe Division, the committee has decided to consider fresh faces and outstanding candidates who are making remarkable contributions in their respective fields.
We appreciate the enthusiasm of all participants and encourage others who were not shortlisted this year to remain steadfast.
Excellence is a continuous journey, and future editions will offer more opportunities for recognition.
Please note that the online voting link will be shared on November 1, 2025, and voting will commence immediately thereafter.
