“This is really amazing, few weeks back, I was in Ghana to receive an award and today I am in Ethiopia to receive another award while in October I will be in Abu Dhabi as a guest speaker and honoree at the DOERs Award which will be hosted by The Africa Chamber of Digital Commerce in Abu Dhabi,UAE.
“These are just too beautiful to be true but I am trying to remain calm and keep working like a duck on a river where everything appears calm on the surface but underneath I am doing a whole lot of work and this recognition is a testament of the hard work done in darkness”
The Jet Age Nation Builders Award is one of the most revered awards in Africa with the likes of President Paul Kagame of Rwanda, Dr Akinwumi Adeshina and other major players in African business and politics being recognized.
