The Nigeria Excellence Award in Public Service (NEAPS) is “an award that recognizes and rewards innovation, purposeful leadership and other exceptional deserving individuals that have contributed immensely to the growth and development of the public service and the country at large”, according to Boss Mustapha, the Secretary to Government of the Federation. NEAPS was organized by The Best Strategic Media (TBS), a private company, in partnership with the Office of the Secretary to Government of the Federation.
