As Anambra State prepares for its governorship election on November 8, 2025, the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) has announced that the grand finale of its 2025 Man of the Year Award will take place on August 7, 2025. The event, which will be held at the Godwin Ezeemo International Press Center, NUJ Secretariat Complex in Awka, is part of the activities lined up for the NUJ Press Week.

This scheduling allows for a clear focus on political activities from September to October in the buildup to the election. Themed “The Media, Our State, Anambra: Reportage in Election Era,” the event aims to highlight the critical role of the media in shaping public discourse during elections.

The NUJ 2025 Man of the Year Award seeks to honor an individual who exemplifies philanthropy, inspiring leadership, and innovative entrepreneurship. The call for nominations is currently open, inviting submissions of candidates with outstanding contributions to society. Nominees must have an impressive bio-data, and supporters are required to submit their CVs as part of the selection process.

With anticipation building, the big question remains—who will wear the crown? The NUJ awaits the final shortlist as the selection process intensifies.
