CKN also contributed to the Online Publishing Industry in Nigeria as one of the pioneers that led to the birth of Guild of Professional Bloggers of Nigeria (GPBN) which was also a factor considered in choosing him as a winner of the award.

The event was attended by several dignitaries including the Governor of Nasarawa State.

“I wish to thank everyone that made this possible, especially the management of Divination led by the Pioneer IT TV broadcaster in Nigeria Dr Bayero Agabi for this singular honour.

But the highest glory goes to my creator, the Almighty GOD, who without him, this wouldn’t have been possible,” he wrote on social media.
