Presenting the award to the Vice President, Pastor J.A Bolarinwa, who also spoke on behalf of the institute, said that before that the VP served in RILA in one of the faculties before he was taken away by a national assignment.
Giving his acceptance speech on behalf of all the honorees, Prof Osinbajo expressed satisfaction with the award, saying: “I am deeply honoured to have been asked to speak on behalf of the extraordinary and transformational leaders who are being honored today. I am not being modest when I say I am clearly the least in terms of those who contributed to the story that became RILA.”
