After a rigorous selection process, the winners of the 2023 Gani Fawehinmi Impact and Integrity Awards have been determined through public voting. The 20 nominees, carefully shortlisted across the four award categories, have demonstrated remarkable impact and integrity. These categories include Outstanding Impact, Outstanding Integrity, Valuable Whistle-Blower, and Nigeria-In-Diaspora.
In June, the organization initiated the sixth edition of the annual awards, soliciting public nominations that resulted in an impressive 312 entries. Following a thorough screening process conducted by HEDA, the final 20 nominees were presented for public voting.
The primary aim of the Gani Fawehinmi Impact and Integrity Awards, as emphasized by HEDA’s Chairman, Olanrewaju Suraju, is to catalyze a transformation in public perceptions of corruption-related issues and to celebrate individuals who consistently exhibit outstanding impact and integrity, even in the face of challenging circumstances.
The public voting period spanned six weeks, commencing on September 25, 2023, and concluding on October 20, 2023. The winners and runners-up in each category will be officially unveiled and presented to the public during the grand 6th edition of the awards ceremony, scheduled for December 10, 2023, in Lagos.
