The Peak Unstoppable Humans of Change campaign organised by a dairy brand, has come to a spectacular end with Aderonke Kujoore winning the grand prize of N2 million, one year’s supply of the products and mentorship sessions.
After weeks of intense and suspense-filled competition, over 500,000 entries were received across the country and reviewed by renowned judges: Michael Sunbola, who feeds the poor and helpless through Lagos Food Bank, Samira Sanusi, whose life challenge is the sole motivation behind her foundation for sickle cell patients, and Tunde Onakoya, who touches the lives of children through chess via Chess in Slums Africa.
Anchored by the award-winning comedian and TV host, Hero Daniels, the competition ended on an emotional note, with the top 10 finalists battling for the grand prize of N2 million, one year’s supply of milk and mentorship sessions by industry experts.
The entries were reviewed based on set criteria, including level of passion, consistency, impact, reach and personal stories as they relate to their social work. At the end of the day, Kujoore, founder TechSavvy Nigeria and the Children Leadership Initiative, won the competition. Aderonke has created over 5,000 programmes across the country, which has led to the training of more than 40,000 children in information technology in 2022.
Chylian Ify Azuh, who established a community of female survivors of trafficking (Female Returned Migrant Network – FREMNET), providing them with mental health and economic support, clinched the second spot, while Abimbola Ajala, who runs an NGO, Lend a Hand for Africa, centred around improving the quality of lives of low-income families, clinched the third spot, each winning N1.5 million, one year’s supply of milk and mentorship sessions by industry experts.
The fourth to sixth place winners each went home with N1 million and six months’ supply of milk, while the seventh to 10th received N500,000 each as well as six months’ supply of milk.
According to Omolara Banjoko, marketing manager, “the Peak Unstoppable Humans of Change campaign has inspired incredible stories of individuals impacting their communities who will not relent in doing great things in spite of the challenges facing them.
“We are very excited about all the entries received throughout the campaign. This is a true reflection of our passion and drive as Nigerians, to continue being unstoppable humans of change, making indelible marks in the sands of time.
“We will like to specially appreciate our able and amiable judges for doing this with us. Also, big congratulations to the top 10 finalists. You are the real MVPs. We promise to be back again next year with the second edition.
The brand manager, Lilian Elue, noted that the product remains a pacesetter and will not relent in providing everyone with the nourishment that they deserve, while helping them to reach for their peak.
