In response to his award, he said, “It is a demonstration of my career growth that even the public can validate through their votes. This award means a lot to my career and can even be considered evidence of my credentials in the corporate space of our country. My vision is to change the corporate landscape of LTCMOBILE to a Fortune 500 company within Africa.”
“I’m honored but equally challenged to do more to become a better person in society. Last year in season 3, I was nominated and never won, but I kept pushing for something to happen. Never give up,” he added. “Thanks to my team and management, headed by Richmond Tobii at the Liberia Telecommunications Corporation (LTC MOBILE), for the opportunity and support over the years. Big appreciation to our loyal customers, as well as our families and friends.”
The Liberty Young Achievers is a registered socio-cultural development project designed to celebrate and reward young achievers in Liberia, who are significant and outstanding in their visible and legally chosen careers. The award targets youths/young adults between the ages of 18 and 45 years, without bias or sentiment.
Awards programs are a critical development aspect of any organization and society at large. Not only do they show the world that the organization/society is going places, but they are also a simple way to further their values, goals, and prestige for societal considerations and benefits.
Of course, important qualities like prestige don’t just appear. In fact, one of the simplest ways to enhance the prestige of an awards program is by selecting perfect and worthy nominees, and that’s what we’ve done by having representatives from several youth departments on board to screen the hundreds of lists submitted by the general public, resulting in this final listing.
