About NPG GALA & AWARDS
A philosopher once said ‘The will to win, the desire to succeed, the urge to reach your full potential are the keys that will unlock the door to personal excellence.’The NPG Annual Gala and Awards is an initiative geared to promote the achievements of Africans in the diaspora, and their impact in our communities. Tonight and in the weeks leading up to this event we have made a deliberate effort to showcase the amazing things our fellow Africans are doing in their prospective industries, fields, and professions. Our Awardees have shown their desire to succeed, and have truly excelled and deserve to be put on a pedal stool and celebrated.We are an organization that caters to students, professionals and entrepreneurs. This year we are expanding our award to focus on Africans and the impact of their exceptional professionalism and entrepreneurship in the community and within their various industries.
