The award was bestowed on him to mark the 20th anniversary celebration of the station.
Giving the award during the Dinner/Awards Nite ín Akure, the Ondo State capital, the General Manager of the station, Mrs. Olubunmi Olalere, described Akinmade as a media guru who used his position as commissioner to establish excellent rapport between the press and the government of Ondo State.
Mrs. Olalere noted that the Idanre born politician, who was once the Special Adviser to the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon. Dimeji Bankole set a template in the Ministry of Information which other subsequent commissioners had been building upon and some other neighbouring states had been studying and using as model to follow.
