The President's Office has said the deadline for submitting nominations for the National Award for Public Service will close on April 30.
The National Award for Public Service was introduced in 2021 and is the most prestigious award conferred by the president on individuals who have served the nation for over 35 years and have been observed as diligent and steadfast workers. Any individual who has worked for over 35 years in a government office, agency, or subsidiary where the government holds the most shares is eligible for the award.
The National Awards Committee will consider the quality of work of the nominees and their contributions to the development of their respective fields. The award will also recognise the individual achievements of the nominees.
Nominations can be submitted by organisations or by individual nominees. The candidate should have worked for or be currently employed by the organisation if the organisation is to make the nomination. The committee urged all applicants to fill in the required information and attach all the necessary documentation along with the application form. Nomination forms are available through the designated portal on the President's Office website. Interested parties can submit nominations until 1500hrs on April 30.
