The award was presented on December 2, 2025, at the State House in Abuja. Executive Secretary Engr. Felix Omatsola Ogbe was represented by Acting Director, Monitoring and Evaluation, Mr. Omomehin Ajimijaye, who highlighted the Board’s full alignment with public policy reforms and commitment to the implementation of its mandate, enshrined in the Nigerian Oil and Gas Industry Content Development (NOGICD) Act. 

This latest recognition underscores NCDMB’s operational excellence, teamwork, and consistent engagement with partners and industry stakeholders. It reflects NCDMB’s focus on efficiency, transparency, and quality service delivery. 

The PEBEC Awards and Gala Night celebrated public service reforms. The event was chaired by Vice President Senator Kashim Shettima. PEBEC Director General Princess Zarah Audu commended the Board for automating processes to minimize human interference, urging other agencies to adopt similar approaches. 

The Board also received the Reform Champion Award, presented to Engr. Cityfaith Baribor Zorasi for exceptional performance as NCDMB’s liaison to PEBEC. The award carries a cash prize of N1 million naira. 

NCDMB remains committed to strengthening service delivery and institutional performance, advancing local industry growth under the NOGICD Act of 2010, and raising standards in the years ahead.
