On October 16, the channel received the Voice of Inclusion Award from the Down Syndrome Foundation of Nigeria in recognition of its dedication to creating awareness about the resourcefulness and astounding characteristics of people living with Down Syndrome.
The awards haul was capped on October 19, when WAPTV was honoured as Outstanding Family Entertainment Media Brand of the Decade at the Edge Awards 2026.
Reacting, Director of WAPTV, Wale Adenuga Jnr, said: “We are truly grateful to all the advertisers, viewers, management and staff of WAPTV who have continued to believe in and stay with us for 14 years.
“We implore every one of them to continue to spread the word about how WAPTV has been relentless in broadcasting exciting, entertaining and educative content over the years. The best part is we have just begun.”
