“I thank the CEO of the awards event, Olufunsho Ajagbonna and his team for considering me worthy of this tall honour.

“I consider the award significant because it is about leadership which is one aspect of our country that we need to work to get right. I firmly believe that if we can get our leadership right, we will fix most of what’s broken in Nigeria.

“I am beyond excited about our future. Indeed, a New Nigeria is coming and the youths are on hand to take over.”
