The award was accompanied with a cheque of $10,000. The co-ordinator of the Akwa Ibom Christmas Carols Festival, Aniekpeno Mkpanang, was also awarded the Governor’s Excellence in Service Award for his dedication to the state, and his service to the governor.

Some of the artistes who performed at the programme were Sonnie Badu, Jonathan Nelson, Emmanuel Benjamin, aka Eben; Osinachi Kalu; while a popular pastor, David Ibiyeomie, presided over the ceremony.
