Aisha Buhari, Ministers and captains of industries will be honoured at the event for their immense contributions to nation building.
“you will agree with me that this is not an event to miss and this avenue will also give us the opportunity to celebrate and take stock as the industry turns 25” he said.
Sarari also stated that as part of events slated for the ceremony, there will be discussions on modalities to get partners/sponsors for the Kano Film Academy as well as matriculate 100 pioneer students into the Academy.
