Dr. Daniel Chidubem Gbujie has received the global Environmental Climate Justice Award 2022 for his outstanding accomplishments inspired by transformational changes over the years in socio-political, environmental climate justice, technology, and entertainment.
The event held on April 22, 2022 in New York was by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP),’s Mid-Manhattan Branch; the largest civil rights organization established over 113 years ago to advocate for the socio-economic and political rights of people of color.
The Awards for 2022 acknowledge outstanding accomplishments from people of color who have inspired transformational changes over the years in socio-political, environmental climate justice, technology, and entertainment.
A statement from the organisers stated:
“Dr. Gbujie is a multi-award winner, global health consultant, and sustainable development goals (SDGs) advocate, who was featured in China’s Forbes magazine edition in March 2021 as an emerging African social innovator for the app idea he created called “SpaceClime and RepClime.”
Dr. Daniel Chidubem Gbujie who spoke to Vanguard reporter said:
“I feel great being recognized by an International organization, NAACP that has existed for more than 113 years and have within its past history, leaders like Martin Luther king and Dr William Edward Du Boise who have led branches and the national body.
The event held on 20th of April 2022 focuses on recognizing the contribution of outstanding accomplishments of people of color especially those who have inspired transformational changes over the years in socio-political, environmental climate justice, technology, and entertainment. I was honoured with the ‘2022 Environmental Climate Justice Award’ for my contributions towards that aim.
I also believe that service to humanity is the currency that responsible human should pay for the advancement of the society. And encouraging exceptional persons who proof themselves by adding value and inspiring others to do better, creates the ideal community that everyone wishes to reside in. This will also see the process as needed, especially genuine services to humanity and vulnerable group like women, children; those who can’t speak for themselves and poor developing countries.
African immigrants over the last 50 years have added value to the US and this is against the various forms of huddle set before them. They have continued to redefine what perseverance looks like and are constantly sharing their stories and accomplishment in different sectors, am just keeping that tradition alive.”
Gbujie in his acceptance speech sent to the award-giving body, thanked the NAACP executive council and the organization’s environmental climate justice committee members who were jurists for selecting him for 2022. He gave thanks to God and appreciated the support he got from his wife, family, and members of the US-based organization called Team54project International which he leads.
Dr. Daniel Chidubem Gbujie explained that he had to rise above the sentiment of naysayers to get to where he was in life and encouraged young ones never to give up hope but to work relentlessly and focus on addressing mankind’s immediate issues by looking at the peculiarity of the community being assisted.
