Prof Osinbajo was recognized and honoured as the 2021 Leadership Person of the Year based on his effective supervision of the numerous social intervention Programmes in this current administration.
He was also credited for his perceptible role in steadying the ship of governance through the storms under the Buhari administration.
The social intervention Programmes conceptualised and implemented by the VP’s office and his status as a fulcrum that balances complex things in this government were key in arriving at the decision.
