On hand to present the award and certificate to the recipient was Governor Amosun who extolled the music icon’s virtues as deserving of the honour.
Mr. Ayinde was honoured by the UN barely a few days after he celebrated his 61st birthday.
The Fuji musician was honoured because of his contribution to humanity through his music, said the organisers while citing the reason why he was selected.
The musician received the award alongside other honorees like the Ogun State First Lady, HE Olufunso Amosun, prolific film maker, Tunde Kelani and many others.
