The Edo State Commissioner of Finance, Mrs. Adaze-Aguele Kalu (FCCA, FCA, MBA), will coast home with the Leadership Excellence Award (LEEX) as the Public Finance Administrator of the year after Nigerians overwhelmingly voted for her in that category in what was her maiden nomination for the excellence award.
The award is in recognition of Mrs. Kalu’s outstanding performance in public finance management and for demonstrating shrewd accountability while she has held sway so far as Commissioner.
MUK TV recalls that the Edo state governor, Godwin Obaseki, lauded her for financial thrift over the state’s resources at the 6th ICAN’s Southern Zonal Conference held in August in Benin City and subsequently redeployed her from the Ministry of Budget and Economic Planning to Finance.
Igbere TV is the organizer of the yearly prestigious Leadership Excellence Award, which is sponsored by the African Union and dedicated to celebrating Nigerians who have distinguished themselves in their respective endeavors.
This year’s edition, the 5th in the series, will be held on November 11th at the Transcorp Hilton, Abuja, where she and other awardees will be celebrated for their services to the country and humanity.
Mrs. Kalu, who was sworn in as Commissioner in June this year, is the amiable wife of Sir Mascot Uzor Kalu (KSJI), the 2023 governorship candidate of the Action Peoples Party (APP) in Abia State.
