Mr. Wilson Atumeyi, Founder, Water with Development (WaterWide), a non-profit organisation, has bagged the 2020 Africa Youth Awards.
Atumeyi, who is Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) advocate, was selected among 10 nominees including men and women across different African countries, as the winner in the Advocate of the Year category.
The Award ceremony which was held virtually had no fewer than 129 young Africans and organisations nominated for the 2020 Pan African Awards Scheme.
In a statement on Saturday, Atumeyi explained that the awards scheme was inspired by the lack of recognition for young Africans who have selflessly dedicated their lives to making sure the future of Africa was guaranteed.
He added that “the award brings together like-minded young people who are passionate about the development and progress of Africa.
