The 2025 edition which is the 7th in the series is aimed at recognizing individuals, organisations and groups who have through their endeavours made significant contributions in the service of humanity.

Also, Delta has has been chosen as the hosting state for the event which had previously taken place in Anambra, Lagos and Abuja.
The serenity of Asaba, Delta state capital will be the ice on the cake for the Eminent Magazine Personality of the Year award.
