For her exemplary leadership as the Group Features Editor, THISDAY Newspaper, Chiemelie Ezeobi, was over the weekend, awarded The Peak Performing (TPP) ‘Woman of The Year Award 2023’
‘The Peak Performing Woman of The Year’ is a special annual edition which features 100 remarkable women in Africa across multiple industries, multiple generations and multiple countries on the African continent.
This year’s award, like every other, featured strong performing women from various walks of life, from which Ezeobi was also bestowed with the award, upon the heels of maintaining the 10th spot on the list of most powerful women in journalism.
Reacting to the award, during the award event held in Lagos State, Ezeobi expressed gratitude to the award organisers for recognising her efforts, especially in a country where women’s effort in leadership easily goes unnoticed.
“I am honoured and thrilled to receive the prestigious Peak Performing Woman of the Year 2023 Award. This recognition serves as a testament to the countless hours of hard work, dedication, and perseverance I have invested in my personal and professional growth.
“Receiving this award is not only a personal achievement but also a celebration of the amazing women who have inspired and supported me throughout my journey. Their unwavering belief in my abilities has fueled my determination to reach new heights and push beyond perceived limitations.
“I am grateful for the opportunities that have come my way, allowing me to make a positive impact in my field and empower others along the way. This award serves as a reminder that dreams can be turned into reality with the right mindset, passion, and commitment.
“I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to the organisers of this award for acknowledging the contributions and achievements of women in various spheres of life. This recognition not only highlights the exceptional accomplishments of women but also serves as an inspiration to countless others who aspire to excel in their chosen fields.”
In another development, Ezeobi was nominated alongside a few others as a Young Innovator to attend the biggest gathering of science and innovation champions in Africa with Bill Gates, with the theme, ‘Advancing Africa: Unleashing the Power of Youth in Science and Innovation.’
In an invitation mail addressed to her, the organisers said the pan-Africa Youth Innovation Forum “is an exclusive opportunity for young innovators like you to be part of a transformative experience that can shape Africa’s future.”
Reacting to the invite, Ezeobi thanked God and appreciated “all those that keep mentioning my name in rooms and ears that matter.”
She, therefore, noted that the opportunity, among every other thing, would further shape her innovative skills even in the course of carrying out her official responsibility to her organization
