On March 1, 2025, the spotlight will shine brighter than ever as the 20th edition of the Silverbird Man of the Year Awards takes centre stage at Eko Hotels & Suites, Victoria Island, Lagos.
This particular edition will be 20 Years of Celebrating Excellence, Leadership, and Impact.
What began two decades ago as a bold initiative to recognise outstanding Nigerians has grown into one of the nation’s most prestigious platforms for celebrating excellence, influence, and transformative leadership.
For 20 remarkable years, the Silverbird Man of the Year has stood as more than an awards ceremony. It is a national institution — a convergence point for captains of industry, policymakers, cultural icons, entrepreneurs, and visionaries whose work continues to shape Nigeria’s story. It is the moment when impact is acknowledged, innovation is applauded, and service to humanity is rewarded before a distinguished audience of peers and global observers.
This landmark 20th anniversary edition promises unmatched prestige and powerful moments. From the glamour of the red carpet, which begins at 5PM, to the grandeur of the main stage, guests will witness a celebration of legacy and leadership at the highest level. The event will not only gather Nigeria’s most influential personalities under one roof but will also reach millions through national and international broadcast coverage across satellite and terrestrial platforms.
At the heart of the evening lies a simple but powerful mission — to amplify excellence. To tell the stories of individuals whose courage, vision, and dedication have moved industries forward, strengthened institutions, and inspired generations.
As the countdown continues, anticipation builds for what promises to be an unforgettable night of recognition and reflection.
Attendance is strictly by invitation.
From recognition to legacy, from red carpet glamour to defining moments on stage — the 20th edition of the Silverbird Man of the Year Awards is set to reaffirm why, for two decades, it has remained Nigeria’s foremost celebration of leadership and impact.
