The Canadian government has honoured an Ibadan-based Nigerian cleric, Reverend Paul Tunde Toluwani, with around 17 awards for his excellent contributions.
He was given the awards for how he has ensured the welfare of people living with disabilities, Vanguard reports.
The development was made known by the cleric in Ibadan on Friday, December 16, at the Care People Foundation annual Carnival for the Physically Challenged, Orphans and Motherless Children at the Foundation’s premises.
At the foundation, a lot were donated to the welfare of the less privileged people. Given items included grinding machines, sewing machines, wheelchairs, food, among others.
He also used the opportunity to appreciate those who has made valuable contributions to the foundation, adding that he has not really received recognition like he has in foreign nations.
I have not really felt much of recognition in Nigeria. But outside Nigeria, by the grace of God, I have been highly recognized. I have been invited by the Prime Minister of Canada twice to secure International awards from Canada.
I have been given close to seventeen International awards. I have collected awards from Toronto Police, awards from Canada Christian College, I have collected Black History awards, I have collected awards from the Premier, from the Mayor, from the Parliament, etc. I can count seventeen International awards that I have gotten from Canada,” he said.
