The recognition was presented during the summit, which honours individuals from across the continent for contributions in areas including business, leadership, entrepreneurship and community development.

Zekeri, who is based in the United Kingdom, co-founded Vendoir, an event technology and marketplace platform serving the events industry. The company is planning to expand its operations into Nigeria later this year, according to company officials.

Speaking after receiving the recognition, Zekeri described the award as an encouragement to continue supporting initiatives that promote entrepreneurship, innovation and community development across Africa.

“I am deeply humbled to be recognised among the recipients of the 100 Most Notable Peace Icons in Africa,” he said, adding that the recognition reinforces his commitment to contributing to economic development on the continent.

He also dedicated the award to his family and acknowledged other recipients recognised at the summit.

According to the company, preparations are underway for Vendoir’s planned entry into the Nigerian market as part of its business expansion strategy.
