 The study UK alumni awards for 2021-2022 has recognized and celebrated the benefits of studying at a UK university and what the privilege it has on individuals, their community and country. All alumni would also be integrated into the global alumni body. This comes with additional national level awarding ceremonies to be held in 23 countries. Plus, TV news correspondents Justin Ter-Obioku has more. It was an evening of celebration of the achievements of outstanding international alumni who have studied at the UK universities in the past 15 years. It was the eighth year of the prestigious awards for the third edition to be celebrated in Nigeria. These are the 12 finalists in Nigeria out of 1,500 applications received from alumni in more than 100 countries. That's representing alumni from around 80% of all UK higher education institutions. There are categories of science and sustainability awards, culture and creative awards, social action awards, also business and innovation awards. These individuals essentially represent the countries, our country's greatest assets because when you talk about what's most valuable, our most valuable assets here in Nigeria and it's our people, it's our youth and not the oil. Next is the presentation of certificates and then awards presentation to the winners. And the winner in this category is Oluwa Femi Adiola Adedikwe. The winners who expressed their joy shared some of their achievements so far. I'm an advocate of student education and I take pride in developing students where I find myself as a science, technology, engineering and mathematics ambassador. It's not just enough for us to fold our arms and see these our kids not doing well in school or to blame the system. It's for us to think inwards on what we can do to improve the system. This award feels like a well-deserved recognition for the impact I have been able to make with the CP community which is a platform that supports international students in the UK with the right information, resources and a supportive community. It was my studies in the UK, especially the environment created by the University of Southampton that showed me how powerful entrepreneurship could be. If you see something in your community, if you see a need, if you see a problem that you're concerned about, don't wait for all the stars to align. Don't wait for the conditions to be perfect. Don't wait until you have all the credentials. British Deputy High Commissioner and Country Director British Council in Nigeria believe study UK has great impact in developing Nigeria. I'm just so proud really of all of the winners and not just what they've done in gaining an international education in the UK and some of the most prestigious, most excellent universities in the world but also as you say the impact they've had and are having on return and in terms of growing jobs, in terms of their social action. We know, we know there's so much talent in Nigeria but to recognise the talent, but to recognise it because the talent has studied in the UK, they've made connections, they've expanded their skills and experience, they're academic credentials but then they come back to Nigeria to make a difference which is what it's all about really. The four global winners will be invited to the UK for a professional networking visit to build their networks and boost their careers.
