The award was in recognition of my immense contribution towards nation building, human development and youth empowerment. I've gotten so many awards but this one in particular was very special.
I got an award for excellence as an Icon of societal transformation and then confirmation as the Gimbiyan Matasan Arewa which means Princess of Arewa Youths. Aka, Princess Linda. Lol.
