The Management of Vanguard Newspapers has announced the cancellation of the annual Personality of the year Award.
The award which was scheduled to hold on Friday, 20th March 2020, at Eko hotels and suites, was postponed following the ban by Lagos State government on religious gathering of over 50people.
The announcement was contained in a statement signed by the General Manager/ Editor-in-Chief, Gbenga Adefaye and it reads:
"The Management of Vanguard Newspapers regrets to announce the postponement of the Economic Discourse earlier scheduled to hold Thursday and Personality of the Year Awards ceremony slated for Friday.
"We were constrained to postpone both events in observance of global health concern over the rampaging Coronavirus pandemic (Covid 19) which is spreading to every part of the world including our country.
"In observance of both the federal and state instructions on how to curtail the virus and stop community infection, we had to postpone both events. New dates will be announced later."
