In his acceptance speech, Williams thanked the organisers of the awards and the awards selection technical committee. He dedicated the award to the board, management and staff of Lubcon International for weathering the storm during the recession period in 2016; a situation that almost incapacitated many players in the Nigerian manufacturing sector.
