Speaking on the event,
Mai Atafo (Chairman of the Central Working Committee/Nigerian designer) said
“ We are impressed with the people nominated in all categories this season. Bringing them together in a gathering to honor and show them to the world excites us. Obviously only one person emerges in each category but they are all achievers. The beauty of this award for many young Nigerians is to find that many achievers who have done so much great work are so young, and that is why we have put them under the extra scrutiny of publishing their ages. We are confident that young Nigerians will draw inspiration from these true life stories of excellence and achievement.”
