“The Convergence of Excellence: Building Legacies, Inspiring Generations.”
Eleven years ago, the Plateau Man of the Year Awards (PMYA) was born from a simple conviction to celebrate excellence, honor leadership, and inspire service.
Today, it stands as Plateau’s most formidable and credible platform of recognition and impact, a movement that uplifts those whose courage, creativity, and integrity continue to shape our beloved state.
Since 2014, PMYA has honored over 450 trailblazers including reformers, entrepreneurs, artists, and change-makers, whose collective contributions have inspired innovation, strengthened institutions, and deepened community pride. Through our programmes and social impact projects, we have been touching thousands of lives across Plateau and beyond.
As we mark PMYA @11, aligned with Plateau’s Golden Jubilee (50 Years), we celebrate outstanding achievers and the enduring spirit of resilience and unity that defines our people. This edition “The Convergence of Excellence” is both a reflection and a renewal: a tribute to the past, a celebration of the present, and a promise for the future.
PMYA’s journey is one of purpose and perseverance. It reminds us that leadership is not about power but about service; not about fame, but about legacy. As we look ahead, we remain committed to building platforms that mentor youth, empower communities, and amplify Plateau’s story of greatness to the world.
To our partners, sponsors, and supporters, thank you for believing in this vision. Together, we continue to celebrate excellence, inspire leadership, and build a legacy that endures.
