Each of the 31 awardees received N500,000 from the Aig-Imokhude Foundation. The top prizes included a brand new 2022 JAC JS4 SUV, won by Mrs. Juwon Olayiwola from the Federal Ministry of Education; a 2-bedroom semi-detached bungalow, won by Mr. Kevin Nwachukwu from the Service Welfare Office (OHCSF); and the third prize, a plot of land, was awarded to Mrs. Chukweke Stella Oluchi from the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (OSGF).
