Some media organisations will also be honoured for their invaluable media coverage/reportage of issues that affects humanity.

Wellbeing Foundation Africa will also receive the Rotary Outstanding Humanitarian Organisation Award for its consistency in improving health outcome of women and children.
On the choice of the German consul as guest speaker, Chairman of the District Editorial Committee, Rotarian Arinze Okamelu, said he is the “most appropriate as he will be speaking and sharing with Rotarians and friends of Rotary, the German culture, arts, business, way of life, amongst others, as Rotarians prepare to attend their annual Rotary International Convention, holding this year in Hamburg, Germany, between June 1 and June 5, 2019.”
Okamelu, who is also Editor-in-Chief of The Governor’s Newsletter and The Governor’s Magazine, said the awards would “appreciate them as Rotary partners, and give them the impetus to do more, towards having a better society.”
