The 6th edition of the European Diversity Awards
(EDA) held in London last night and Bisi Alimi
bagged the Vodafone Campaigner of the Year. The
prestigious award celebrates achievement in all
areas of diversity, including race, age, sexual
orientation, disability, gender identity and belief,
and so, recognises individuals and organisations
who have contributed immensely to achieving
these set goals in Europe.
This year, the openly gay Nigerian activist, Bisi
Alimi, came highly recommended for Vodafone
Campaigner of the Year category, and now he has
taken to his Instagram to celebrate this new feat.
He wrote:
“Still basking in the delight of last night
and the honour that I have the privilege of holding
in my hand. Sometimes, when this kind of thing
happens and i am humbled by it, my husband will
say ‘wow to think you just arrived here less than
10yrs ago and look at how much impact you have
made?’. Holding this in my hand as the highly
commended award was and still a great honour. I
am still giggling and my head still spinning from
too much alcohol”
