In a statement released today, Dr. Gbadegesin expressed his sincere gratitude to the organisers of the award for considering him for such an esteemed honor.
He acknowledged the recognition but emphasised that the collective efforts of the LAWMA team and the entire Lagos citizenry in tackling waste management challenges were more deserving of accolades.
“While deeply humbled by the recognition, I believe that the collective efforts of the LAWMA team and the entire Lagos citizenry in addressing waste management challenges are more deserving of such accolades,” Dr. Gbadegesin said.
He went on to request that the public refrain from voting for him, highlighting his commitment to the ongoing mission of LAWMA. “To this end, I’m declining the nomination and urge members of the public not to vote for me,” he stated.
