NextMoney will reveal its list of Nigeria’s Top 100 Companies at an award ceremony in Lagos on Friday, October 3. The event, which begins at 5 p.m., will take place at the Civic Centre, Victoria Island.
The theme for the event is “Nigeria’s Top 100 Companies: Yesterday, Today and the Future.” Olufemi Awoyemi, chairman of Proshare Nigeria, will deliver the keynote address, while Ije Jidenma, chairman of the Nigeria South Africa Chamber of Commerce, will preside over the occasion.
The special ranking, published by NextMoney magazine, highlights the performance of publicly listed companies in Nigeria. The companies are assessed based on assets, revenue, profit after tax, market value, number of employees, and tax payments.
According to editor-in-chief, Ray Echebiri, the awards stand out because they rely solely on “objective criteria – the remarkable performance of the companies as surmised from their audited financial reports.”
Awards will be given in two broad categories: global and sectoral.
The global awards will recognise companies that rank highest overall in areas such as total assets, revenue, profit, market value, workforce size, and tax contributions.
The sectoral awards will focus on three industries: banking, insurance, and manufacturing.
This is the first edition of the NextMoney Top 100 Companies Awards, which aims to celebrate businesses driving growth and value in Nigeria’s economy.
