Delta State Governor, Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan, has been named the 2013 Man of the Year of the Nigerian Pilot Newspaper.

The Board and Management of DOM Communications Limited, publishers of the Nigerian Pilot, said Uduaghan was chosen because of the tremendous achievements of his administration since 2007.

According to a letter signed by the Publisher of the newspaper, Prince Dennis Sami, Uduaghan emerged the winner after a “critical appraisal of the performance of all 36 state governors in virtually all areas of assessment.”

News Express learnt that the award will be conferred on Uduaghan at a ceremony in Abuja which would have Deputy Senate President Ike Ekweremadu as Guest Speaker.
