Lagos—The Lagos Chamber of Commerce and Industry, LCCI and CMC Connect, yesterday, said they were partnering to honour public and private institutions that contributed to development of businesses.
Dr Nike Akande, the President of LCCI, made the pledge while unveiling the Lagos Manila for the 2017 Chamber and Commerce Award.
Lagos Manila is a historic symbol of trade and commerce in Lagos and West Africa sub region.
The theme of the award is: Lagos @ 50: Celebrating the Heartbeat of Commerce and Industry in Sub-Saharan Africa.

Akande said that the chamber was seeking to celebrate institutions which brought innovations, business sustainability and positive impacts to the society.
“We are celebrating organisations that have demonstrated resilience and good corporate governance in the face of pressures arising from the recession.
“These companies have continued to offer value to their stakeholders,” the LCCI President said.
According to her, the award coincides with the celebration of Lagos State at 50 and the giant strides made by businesses over the decades to make Lagos the nation’s economic nerve centre.
