A statement signed by the Director General of the Centre, Ben Duntoye, revealed that all the Awardees for the African Youth Role Model Prize were persons of proven integrity, who have excelled tremendously in their chosen careers while distinguishing themselves as role models to the young people of Africa, especially at this critical period where there is a dearth of credible positive role models and mentors to provide quality leadership orientation to the Youth.

It was reported that various Youth Organizations had earlier nominated over 100 outstanding personalities that have positively influenced youths and young people within Nigeria and Africa for the Prize, and their names submitted to a Special Screening Committee set-up by the African Youth Resource Centre. The list of nominees was eventually reduced to the very few iconic role models that would be honoured at the 2022 Edition of International Youth Day celebration.
