Authentic News Daily, a multiple award-winning publication headquartered in Kaduna, celebrates leaders, individuals, and educational institutions that have demonstrated outstanding contributions to the development of primary education in Nigeria.

The event, which took place on Saturday, 10th May 2025, attracted dignitaries, educators, and community leaders, all gathered to honor the achievements of individuals and institutions across the nation.
