not yet notable. Received minor awards for "youth activism", which is a polite way of saying that people think she might one day be notable. The references are either mere notices, or promotional "interviews" such as the one in Bellanaija, where she talks about herself and why she thinks she's importanty. The interviewer just gives her a platform to promote herself and her causes DGG ( talk ) 01:05, 23 February 2022 (UTC)
multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notabilitywith the exception of trivial coverage. What I found indicates she has achieved more recognition for her work than awards, and at least one award has its own independent recognition, which from my view, helps support to her notability. I rarely invoke WP:IAR, but for this article, I think the potential for expansion with reliable sources would improve the encyclopedia if the article is kept and further developed.

value not understood This article further helps support the notability of The Future Awards, reporting e.g. a week of celebratory events began with an event "led by the Nigerian President, Goodluck Jonathan, represented by Vice President Namadi Sambo" and highlights the support of the Nigerian government for these awards.

being nominated for the Future Awards Africa and the City People Entertainment Awards doesn't qualify one for stand-alone inclusion.
Nigeria’s Former President and Co-Chair of the Commonwealth Africa Initiative (CAFI) Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, former UN Scribe Dr. Kofi Anan, and Africa Regional Director for GLEEHD Foundation/Commonwealth Africa Initiative Africa Engagement Director Ambassador Dayo Israel, were among the Key Guest at the recently concluded Commonwealth Day Service and Commonwealth Africa Summit activities in London in the presence of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.And this profile of him is far more coverage than all coverage of Agbarakwe combined, so I don't see how you can assert he lacked IRS. No one contested the reliability of it (and this source was addressed by at least two !voters), they just didn't find it sufficiently encyclopedia-worthy and rejected claims the aggregate sources met BASIC or ANYBIO.
independent from the other subject-specific notability guidelines, such as WP:BIO, WP:MUSIC, WP:AUTH, etc., and is explicitly listed as an alternative to the general notability guideline, so while an academic can be notable per guidelines other than NPROF, it does not appear that other guidelines are subject to the constraints of NPROF criteria.
