The 9th edition of GMYT Academy Humanitarian Awards, GAHAwards, scored another high in Lagos recently when notable Nigerians were honoured along with the graduation of students from one of the leading fashion institutes in Nigeria, GMYT Academy.
Among those recognised included the Lagos Special Adviser on Education, Barr. Tokunbo Wahab, who again clinched the another award barely few days after being encouraged with the Most Outstanding Thought Leader in Education at the maiden edition of TheFLEA Awards.
This time around, the amiable politician was named the Outstanding Government Official of the year at the 9th edition of the GYMT African Humanitarian Awards event which was held at the prestigious Monarch Event Centre, Lagos and organised by the GMYT Fashion Academy.
Barr. Wahab, who was represented at the event, appreciated the organisers for counting him worthy of the honour while promising to continue serving humanity in any capacity he finds himself.
The founder of the awards and CEO of GMYT Academy, Princess Kelechi Oghene, first came into public reckoning when Orange Drugs chose her as an ambassador and was featured on Nigerian screens as one of the Delta soap models.
An alumna of Lagos State University, Lagos Business School, London College of Fashion and Harvard Business School, Princess Oghene integrates entrepreneurial education into the curriculum of the fashion academy to ensure that graduates are launched out business-ready.
The GMYT Academy, by all standard is a perfect Streets-to-Throne programme for many young women in Nigeria. It is also worthy to note that a lot of the participants are on scholarships, often solicited and acquired by Princess Kelechi herself, in line with her spirit of altruism and determination to empower women.
The 9th edition of the GAHAwards was another opportunity to showcase and reward the graduates of the institution and some outstanding Nigerians.
