Award ceremonies are important, especially when it centers around celebrating hard work and selflessness in the society.

This makes awardees feel appreciated and respected. Even as nominees, it makes people feel noticed and encourage them to do more.

Award ceremonies are also essential to a growing economy especially when it identifies with businesses/ impact/ positive contribution because it celebrates the right morales that will encourage others to emulate and even be better at.

With the damning trend where wrong morales are being celebrated in Nigeria and leading young ones astray therefore, it is refreshing to experience objectivity being celebrated.

And this is the case as Ibadan Media celebrated 100 individuals from all walks of life in Ibadan on the 29th of January 2023. Themed Oyo State 100 most influential personalities and brands award which hosts yearly, it is a sample size that represents many more hardworking individuals and businesses in Oyo State.

As with all award events, it’s one event that aims to encourage more positive contribution in the state.

As one of the recipients of the awards, Iyalode celebrates every hard working business owner and impact-maket in Oyo State whether part of the 100 selected or not.

Oyo State is a pace setter, and so must we remain.

Here is cheers to impact making! 🥂
