January 23, (THEWILL) – Nigerian-British gospel singer, Muyiwa Olanrewaju, has been honoured with the Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) award. The radio host was handed a medal in an investiture ceremony held at the Windsor Castle, United Kingdom. The medal was presented to the music act by the Duke of Cambridge, Prince William.
Muyiwa was awarded the medal for his contribution to the British music industry. He was awarded an OBE when he appeared on Queen Elizabeth’s 2020 birthday honours list, but his investiture and official decoration took place about two weeks ago. The elated artiste appreciated all who have invested relentlessly in his career as they are the reason for his laudable feat.
According to him, one of his lecturers once discouraged him by saying that no one is paying attention to him as a gospel act. However, a few years later, the same gospel music earned him an award as the Officer of the Order of the British Empire.
Olanrewaju is the host of popular gospel show, Turning Point, he has also appeared as a judge for various events such as BBC Songs of Praise, Gospel Choir of the Year Competition.
