Speaking to A1 Radio, Ras Wormz who was elated by the recognition said his ultimate passion is to contribute his quota to shape the society. He said the recognition would encourage him to put his best that merited the recognition.

“Taking this award, the advice that I would give to society is that anywhere you find yourself, don’t take it like you are there for the money, but contribute your quota to change society knowing very well that, one day somebody somewhere will reward your efforts.”
