In 2010 Dr. Olusegun Mimiko received so many awards. One of the prestigious was The Hero of Peace and Good Governance.
The honour would be courtesy renowned international bodies in the shape of the United Nations Youth Network Nigeria and the Global Alert for Defense of Youth and the Less Privileged.
At the well-attended and widely-reported Presentation Ceremony, Prof. Wole Soyinka represented by Joy Odumakin would say that the award “should serve a model to others who have accepted the mantle of leadership, and I hope it will one day spread to the Political System of the country.”
Mimiko whose recognition (both locally and internationally) in less than two years must have surpassed those received in two terms by some others, would be elated in his brief acceptance speech.
“We will continue to do what we are doing, and we are happy it is being recognized internationally. For me, this award is special because I believe that as black men, we can run the government and turn around the fortunes of our people.”
You didn’t miss it, did you?
