Winners have emerged in the BusinessDay Top 25 CEOs And Next Bulls Awards 2019 organised by BusinessDay Media in collaboration with the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) held at the Eko Hotel & Suites, Lagos.
The BusinessDay Top 25 CEOs And Next Bulls Awards now in its 5th edition, recognize companies and CEOs that have taken actions that has grown or substantially improve their business, and offer prospects of a long-term value.
According to the organiser, these companies have been honoured for contributing to the growth of the market capitalisation of quoted firms in 2018, in spite of the overall market performance ending in the negative territory, while others were celebrated for inculcating good corporate governance, innovations and raising the standards of their organisations to a point where it would be seamless if they were to be listed on the NSE today.
The organisers of the award said the companies impacted positively on investors at the NSE in the 2018 financial year.
The BusinessDay Next Bulls Awards follows an informal, proprietary survey carried out by BusinessDay analysts on 1,000 respondents.
