Vanguard Awards: An entertaining celebration of excellence and achievements
Just like a captivating movie. That is how a visibly impressed, and indeed overjoyed, guest described the Vanguard Personality of the Year Awards 2015 which held Friday night at the prestigious Eko Hotel and Suites in Lagos. The likening of the event to a potentially box office hit movie was quite apt. And why not? It flowed from beginning to the end like a well-scripted movie boasting an engaging story line, impressive plot treatment, proper sequencing and creatively directed by a master of the art. A great credit to the organisers.
