Dr. Mosadoluwa, who is widely known for his success in the real estate sector, was recognised for his consistent efforts in supporting youth empowerment through skills acquisition. Speaking at the event, he shared how he began his journey as a bricklayer and gradually grew into a successful real estate entrepreneur, an experience he often uses to inspire young people to embrace vocational training.

Dr. Mosadoluwa, while appreciating the honour, reaffirmed his commitment to supporting initiatives that create opportunities for young people. His recognition serves as encouragement for others in the private sector to invest in youth-focused skill development across Lagos State.
