“Over the years the contributions and impact of young and highly influential Africans have been neglected leaving a huge gap in the quest to inspire the next generation towards greater exploits,” said Kamil Olufowobi, chief executive officer, MIPAD.
“We are all about paving the way for Africans to embrace creativity and sustainable success within our peoples.”
The recognition ceremony will showcase contributions and impact across five key sectors; politics and governance; business and entrepreneurship; media and culture; religious and humanitarian and global announcement.
