Youth Summit Award 2025: Kure Dedicated Award of 2025 Youth Community Service to his Daddy Amb. Arapaja and Alawode

I’m still so shocked as I share this amazing news with you all! I recently won the BEST COMMUNITY SERVICE AWARD at the Oyo State 2025 Youth Summit on the 30th of this month.

I feel so thankful. I’m talking about tears of joy, shouting with excitement, and a heart full of gratitude. 🥹 To be honest, I didn’t expect to win, and I feel really humbled by this. My journey to this moment has been full of ups and downs, with many challenges along the way, but I’m grateful for every part of it. I think about a lot of things I can’t even mention here. I remember all the times I doubted myself, all the moments I felt like giving up but I didn’t. And now, holding this award feels so unreal… wow! 🤭

I want to thank everyone who has supported me. To my family (especially wife), who has been my biggest supporter, my safe place, and my number one cheerleader. Thank you for all your love and support. To my friends, who have dealt with my crazy schedule, my mood swings, and my endless talks about our community 😂 thank you for your patience, understanding, and friendship. 😍

I sincerely appreciate my dear friend the leader of the house Ibadan South East legislative council and the chairman Oyo State Councillors Forum Rt. Hon. Ayodeji Akande (ALA)

My old School students Ibadan Christ Apostolic Grammar School (OBA2005) thank you all.

GSM Advocate thank you so much I really appreciate you all for your supports, a win for one is a win for us.

This award isn’t just about me, it’s about the power of not giving up, working hard, and trusting God. To anyone out there chasing a dream, don’t stop! Keep going, keep trying, and keep praying.

You never know what’s possible! I’m living proof that with hard work, determination, and a little bit of luck, anything can happen. 💯

To my Heavenly Father, THANK YOU for this amazing blessing. I’m so grateful for Your love and favor in my life. I know I don’t deserve it, but I’m thankful. Please, don’t forget God in your journey!

A special thank you to the ministry of Youths and Sports under the best commissioner Hon. Wasilat Adegoke.

Our awesome principal His Excellency Governor Oluseyi Makinde PSM inshallah, and my lovely daddy His Excellency Amb. Taofeek Oladejo Arapaja, my egalitarian Council Chairman Hon. Emanuel Oluwole Alawode. I’m really grateful to have the chance to know and work with all of you. 🤭🤩🥇
