The Federal Government has announced the postponement of the Nigeria at 60 Jubilee Special Award ceremony earlier scheduled to hold on September 3.

Adeniyi Adebayo, the Minister for Industry, Trade and Investment made the announcement on Sunday in a statement by his spokesman, Ifedayo Sayo.

The event was organised by the Ownership Subcommittee of the Nigeria at 60 Committee to honour 60 notable citizens.

The awardees are individuals who made immense contributions to the nation’s growth since independence.

Adebayo regretted any inconveniences the postponement might cause stakeholders and the public.

The minister was silent on the reason. He added that a new date would be communicated in due course.
