The awards ceremony held in Manchester, UK, was designed to bring together more than 2,000 of the brightest young leaders from all countries and sectors, working to accelerate social impact both in person and digitally.
Fakorede, who was the only African to win 'Politician of the Year', was described by Summit Director Megan Downey as the winner of the award who has played a vital role in helping young leaders of the future to harness the knowledge and skills needed to be effective agents of change.
The youngest state commissioner, whose appointment was announced earlier in June, was celebrated alongside four others where he described winning the award as a testament to good leadership and great demonstration of good governance at Ministry of Youth and Sports, Oyo State.
