Nigeria Pitch Awards Upholds Legacy of Integrity with The prestigious Nigeria Pitch Awards, a hallmark of Nigerian football recognition, continues to operate under a strict and time-tested framework for selecting its winners, a standard established since its inaugural ceremony in Calabar in 2013.
The integrity of the voting process, a cornerstone of the awards’ credibility, was recently highlighted during a event where key partners reaffirmed their support. The organizers have long prioritized a transparent procedure to ensure that every award is a genuine reflection of merit.
This commitment to a verifiable process is what attracted the long-term partnership with auditing firm SIAO Partners. Mr. Oluwadare Ojelabi, the firm’s Director of Audit and Assurance, delivered a goodwill message, noting that his organization’s involvement in collating and auditing the votes since 2014 aligns with their corporate social responsibility.
The mention of the external audit serves to underscore the awards’ own unwavering dedication to fairness. The established protocol involves a comprehensive voting system that incorporates inputs from fans, sports journalists, and technical experts, all meticulously reviewed to uphold the gold standard set over a decade ago.
For the organizers, maintaining this rigorous procedure is paramount. “From our inception in Calabar, our mission has been to celebrate football excellence with unquestionable integrity,” a statement from the awards board read. “The systems we built ensure that the voice of the football community is accurately heard and reflected in our winners.”
This steadfast adherence to its founding principles has cemented the Pitch Awards’ reputation as one of the most transparent and respected sports accolades in Nigeria.
