For her effort at elevating the plight of the less privileged, Nigerian singer, Nikki Laoye, has been bestowed with an award as Humanitarian Personality of the Year at the recently held World Humanitarian Day.
Put together by a Nigerian/American organisation, World Hope Foundation, the World Humanitarian Day ceremony was held in Lagos State last week.
The plaque, a gold plated hands on whose palms rests the insignia of love, was presented to Laoye by Fola Kudehinbu, the Managing Director of Fountain Initiative for Social Development, who was supported by the main speaker of the event, Oyebisi Oluseyi, the Executive Director of Nigeria Network of NGOs, and Oludotun Olugbemi, the CEO/Founder of World Hope Foundation.
“Much love to my entire team and volunteers at @Angel4LifeFoundation and with a heart of gratitude, I say thank you to our network of Angels – all the wonderful people that donate and support our projects, I couldn’t do it alone. You made this happen for me. God bless you more,” the songstress wrote.
Laoye has been known to be heavily involved in humanitarian and charity works through her Angel 4 Life Foundation.
In the past, she has visited internally displaced persons with relief materials.
She has also given aid and scholarship to the sick and needy.
This is the third humanitarian award the singer is receiving for her selfless work.
