He highlighted the educational, entertainment and informative nature of Makinde’s media network programmes.

Ajadi, moreover, expressed optimism for the nation’s development, offering a prayer that Fasunle Makinde’s foresight would continue to guide them toward a brighter future for Nigeria. 

“I have seen you as somebody who has seen our desired development for the nation and you are someone who has seen what is coming for us in the nearest future, I pray that when we are celebrating the New Nigeria, you will not diminish,” he said.

During the award presentation, Mr. Fasunle Makinde emphasized Ajadi’s worthiness for the accolade, citing philanthropic and humanitarian deeds as contributing factors. 

“Philanthropic and other humanitarian deeds are part of the reason behind the award,” he said.

The Fasunle Makinde’s media crew chose to present the award at Ajadi’s office in Shimawa, creating a moment witnessed by notable personalities, including the Public Relations Officer (PRO) to the NNPP Ogun State Chapter, Comrade Olowu Olayemi Omokehinde, Comrade Ibrahim Shuaib, Hon.
