One of the very bricks that build a formidable society and economy is Education and as a means of fostering and encouraging a better educational system, the Educational Icons Award Nigeria was birthed, to recognize and appreciate institutions, individuals and organizations who through individual or collective efforts have achieved academic/ intellectual feats that have earned them both national and global acclaims. In the same vein, organizations and policy makers will also be recognized and specially appreciated for their immense contribution to the growth of education in the country.
