Following the Nigeria @60 Special Awards held at the Presidential Banquet hall of Aso Villa Abuja, hosted by The Presidency, Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation on the 30th of September 2021; the eve of Nigerian’s Independence Day Celebration, Say It Loud Africa, has been receiving goodwill messages and commendations from the general public and requests that such an event be done annually, where Nigerians within and outside the country doing great in their various sectors are recognized, received and rewarded. 

Hence, we have re-branded the project and named it; Nigerian Citizens Special Awards, an annual National Awards recognizing Nigerians cutting across Private and Public sectors (Business, Sports, Entertainment, Information technology, Agriculture, Arts and Craft, Education, Health and Lifetime Achievement/Posthumous Awards).
