The Association of Professional Women Engineers of Nigeria (APWEN) has honoured the Lagos Waste Management Authority’s engineer, Mrs. Biola Oludiaye Kosegbe, with its prestigious award, the 2010 Emerging Leader Award.
The association through its president, Engineer (Mrs.) Ini Usoro, said the awardee has maintained the values of the association in her professional life, as well as in recognition of her contribution to waste management in Lagos State.
Mr. Oladimeji Oresanya, Managing Director of LAWMA, described the recipient as a very hard-working individual, who has contributed meaningfully to the achievements recorded so far by the agency.
