Nigeria Plc, who was Special Guest of Honour at the event emphasized the evolution that has 
taken place in HR practices in the modern age. Like water under the bridge are days when the 
HR profession was only saddled with the responsibility of hiring and firing employees. The 
contemporary HR oversees all things related to managing an organisation’s most important 
asset — its human capital. It ensures that they are nurtured and supported through the 
creation and management of programs, policies, and procedures. Today’s HR is also responsible 
for fostering a positive work environment through effective employee-employer relations, 
engagement, and education. 
While appreciating the organisers of the award, Olufunke Amobi, Country Head Human Capital, 
Stanbic IBTC Holdings PLC, commended the efforts of the Stanbic IBTC team for their great 
contribution to the success of the organisation.
In attendance at the event were titans HR practitioners and delegates of participating 
companies.
