Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has been conferred with the Action Governor of the Decade Award by Broadcasting Talents Nigeria in recognition of his leadership and contributions to the state’s development.

Broadcasting Talents Nigeria identifies and nurtures young talents in media and entertainment, providing them with recognition and opportunities.

The award ceremony, which took place recently at Broadcasting Talents Nigeria’s premises in Surulere, Lagos, brought together dignitaries from various sectors to celebrate Sanwo-Olu and other distinguished personalities honoured.

The organisation also recognised notable individuals as ambassadors, presenting them with letters of accreditation and medals in appreciation of their contributions. Among them were HRM Oba Oyekan Ilufemiloye, Nigerian politician Otunba Henry, and others.

Accepting the award on behalf of Sanwo-Olu, Otunba expressed gratitude for the honour bestowed, recognising the efforts of the Lagos State governor.

“It is a thing of value to be recognised. For us, today’s event is certainly a boost to Mr Governor’s morale because this is a grassroots award, and I think it is very important.”

Chairman of Broadcasting Talents Nigeria, Dr George Tubi, praised the governor’s dedication to governance, highlighting his role in infrastructure development, security, and public service reforms that have directly and indirectly influenced the birth and growth of Kiddies Television under the organisation’s umbrella.

“He has proven that he is a man of integrity who has devoted himself to making sure that Lagos State is moving forward economically. He is also determined to further position Lagos as a centre of excellence in all sectors.”

This recognition from the creative sector adds to Sanwo-Olu’s growing list of accolades, solidifying his reputation as a transformational leader in Nigeria through initiatives like T.H.E.M.E.S+.
