Obi Cubana also vowed to finish the low-cost housing project by the end of 2022 in order to help certain elderly people who are in desperate need of homes.
“For this pilot project, six elderly persons in each of the country’s six geopolitical zones were identified as having housing challenges.
“We’ve gone throughout the country and identified them,” he said, adding that “in the year 2022, we’ll use this platform to impact their lives by creating low-cost homes for six of them.”
He went on to say that the honour had inspired him to do more, particularly in the fields of youth empowerment, humanitarian gestures, and mentoring young people.
Obi Cubana received over a million votes from Nigerian teenagers whose lives he has impacted in some way, according to James Anyalekwa, Director of Igbere TV.
‘The overwhelming votes cast in the online electioneering activity, which lasted over four weeks, was a sign of unity from youths across the country and abroad for Obi Cubana,’ according to Anyalekwa.
Anyalekwa explained that the 2021 edition of the Igbere TV Leadership Excellence Award was created with the twin goal of celebrating excellence among Nigerians who have made a significant impact on the lives of others.
“It is also to identify and impact the lives of the less fortunate, particularly some older people of the country who are homeless.”
Ifeanyi Okali, the Director of ABN TV, who presented the award to Obi Cubana, praised the awardee for being at the forefront of efforts to improve the lives of people across the country.
