Orekoya opined that the PEARL Awards team conduct their duty with a great sense of dedication in line with international best practice to deliver Awards utilising clearly defined and published criteria based on verifiable empirical data.

He enthused that with the high level of integrity that the Award has built over time, it cannot afford to do less.

“The other interesting part is the glamour and class the event brings to the fore on the social sphere. The atmosphere of conviviality and social interaction for executives of listed companies along with stakeholders driving the Nigerian economy cannot be over-emphasized.” He concluded
