Accord Party (AP) presidential candidate, Professor Christopher Imumolen has dedicated the Outstanding Academic Achievement Award 2022 by Forbes magazine to God, vowing to continue the giant strides in empowering humanity through education in the last 13 years.
The youthful presidential candidate who has made a name for himself as a philanthropist thanked God for giving him the grace to fulfill his mission of adding value to human lives through massive investments in education.
In a citation, the panel said Imumolen earned the recognition for demonstrating academic excellence to reach the zenith of his academic quests, and consistently ensuring that less privileged persons get access education through scholarships.
“I want to dedicate this award to the Almighty God for the grace He gave me to embark on this journey which started 13 years ago.
“Without God, it would have been impossible to achieve so much in terms of the numbers of people we have been able to support with both educational training systems, as well scholarship schemes.
“I am proud to accept the Forbes Best Of Africa: Outstanding Academic Achievement Award 2022. The recognition means a lot to me because it is a bold statement by Forbes on how they view the work I have been doing to illuminate the minds of millions of people globally.
“For us, this award is a pat on the back and it is certain to inspire us to do more in the coming years. I will also like to thank the Foreign Investment Network and Forbes Global for this recognition.
“Our thanks also goes to our team, our partners and all those who have been supportive of our programmes from the beginning,” he added.
The president of UNIC Foundation, an NGO that empowers young entrepreneurs, was named Educationist of The Year 2022 at the Leadership Excellence Awards, supported by the African Union and the African Film Institute last November.
Imumolen, presently campaigning to become Nigeria’s youngest civilian president, also holds the Oscar Of Humanitarian Civility, the Most Innovative Educational Personality In Africa Award, among others.
