The widely travelled photojournalist who has been to countries such as the UK, Ghana, Liberia, Paris, Sieera Leone among other countries, said photography to him is not a challenge, rather it makes him to know people because there is no where he cannot get to.

“It is a profession I love as it affords me an opportunity to meet important people,” he said.

Stating why he deserved the award, the organizer of Ale Erebe, a yearly event, said he was given the award because he towers above his contemporaries.

“I can handle camera at any angle, I can report and I can also do interview. That is what makes me different from others. These, I believe, gave me an advantage over my colleagues,” he said.
