Engr. Ernest Ndukwe, executive vice chairman of the Nigerian Communications Commission, Chief Leo Stan Ekeh, chairman of Zinox Computers, and Chief Maan Lababidi, Chairman of Starcomms, were recently provided remarkable point of recognition in their contributions to the development and progress of the Nigerian telecom and Information Technology sector as the trio received the lifetime awards at the Nitta awards hosted by the IT and Telecom Digest magazine.
Similar special recognition was accorded telecom lawyer, Mr Paul Usoro, SAN.
Engr Ndukwe was named the Pan-African Telecom Regulator of All Time while Mr. Paul Usoro was named the Pan-African Telecoms Lawyer of All Times. Chief Lababidi earned the Lifetime Award for Foresight Investment in Telecom, while Chief Leo Stan Ekeh was named Best Pan-African Computer Personality of All Time.
Dr. Yakubu Gowon, former Head of State who made the presentation of the award to Engr. Ndukwe, took measured military steps to the tune of the police band, in the excitement that telecom has brought to the nations landscape as he indicated during his speech as the special guest at the awards.
“If regulators from other countries continue to flock to the NCC to learn few tricks, it is only because the organization has the right mind as its leader. Someone who has found it worthwhile to make Nigeria and its goodness the centre of his being; therefore, in recognition of his sterling qualities and uncompromised disposition to consumerism, the Board of Nitta today honours Engineer Chukwuka Anene Ernest Ndukwe with Best Pan-African Regulator of All Time Award,” he said.  
For Lababidi it was for his investments in other sectors of the economy notwithstanding, the man attributed with an eye for the future, knew telecom was the place to be in the years ahead and he took the plunge.
In the case of Leo Stan Ekeh, the organizers said his face represents the face of the Nigerian brand and that right from the early 1990s, Chief Leo Stan-Ekeh moved the magic box called ‘Computer’ around offices and institutions of learning around Nigeria, demonstrating to workers and students the ubiquity of the boxed device. This lofty idea soon materialized when he found worthy partners from France and South Africa and the result is one of the leading brands in the world of computers – Zinox Computers manufactured by Zinox Technologies.
In Nigeria today, Zinox has achieved the highest penetration of the country and its sub-regional neighbours. Civil Servants, lecturers, students in both secondary schools and tertiary institutions and corporate Nigeria can attest to the life changing initiatives of Zinox through its Computerise Nigeria project.
Paul Usoro earned his recognition for his determination to make a difference, even among fellow lawyers as he became a regular name in drafting policies and legislations that will shape the future of Nigerian telecommunications and its regulation.
