Mr Olusegun Runsewe, Director-General, National Council for Arts and Culture (NCAC), on Tuesday, rewarded Mrs Florence Robinson’s hard work, as she bagged contract to fry “akara” for NAFEST tourists.
Runsewe declared the reward during the National Festival of Arts and Culture Roundtable on Entrepreneurship, held at the Oba Akenzua Cultural Centre, Benin City, Edo state.
He said that Robinson deserved to be recognised and compensated for her high sense of responsibility, hard work and remarkable achievements, having worked as a bean cake seller for years.
This would encourage Nigerians to be hardworking and responsible, even when efforts were being made by the Federal Government to boost the economy, He said.
Mrs Florence Robinson who has been frying Akara for many years is grateful to God for his mercies.
