The award is given to individuals who have made notable contributions to society.
Darboe won the award at a ceremony attended by high-profile guests from the subregion, held on Saturday at the Sir Dawda Kairaba Jawara International Conference Centre.
Speaking to The Fatu Network, the head of the GRA expressed gratitude to Gambians for acknowledging his hard work and the diligent efforts of his team at the GRA.
“What I can say is that I really appreciate the trust and the confidence that they have in me, and I will continue doing my utmost best for the Gambians because of the trust that they have in me.
Darboe attributed his award to the collective efforts of all GRA staff members and his family, stating that his accomplishments would not have been possible without them.
“I want to say that the achievements I am able to get through my work are not all by myself. I have a team of competent people who are very professional in the way and matter they do the work.
“I give them delegated responsibilities and they work according to that, and that is why we are able to work and achieve whatever we are achieving. So, I want to dedicate both awards to my team and the entire GRA Staff because I could not have achieved this without their support.
“I also dedicate the award to my family, friends, and all those who one way or the other supported me in terms of encouragement and prayers.”
He expressed gratitude to the founder of the Heroes Awards and CEO of The Fatu Network, the award committee, the judges, and the staff of The Fatu Network.
