I'm not convinced that the subject satisfies
WP:BASIC or
WP:ANYBIO. The sources cited are short pieces from minor news outlets and at least one of them (the first) is a press release as opposed to an
independent article. A total of 105 results on Google, most of which seem to be duplicative press releases, blogs, directories and social media. There is also no indication that the subject's company is notable.

Keep – Subject has won awards
[1][2],
[3],
[4] and it's clear to me that these awards are notable enough to meet
WP:ANYBIO. In my opinion I feel like Wikipedia is already far too ethnocentric, discounting award nominees from non-Anglophonic countries. Furthermore the subject also "holds the National Honor of the Officer of the
Order of the Niger (OON)"
[5], Vanguard Nigeria is an independent source.

Were awards such as BEFFTA Awards truly notable Wikipedia would probably have articles on them. And I don't see how being an OON establishes notability – the vanguardngr.com page lists 65 OONs for 2013-14, the majority of whom are unlikely to satisfy the notability guidelines here. And while vanguardngr.com is an independent source, the page cited does not provide
significant coverage of the subject.

BEFFTA awards are listed on multiple pages of notable musicians, entrepreneurs, companies etc here on Wikipedia
See here and the subject has received an Asian Voice Charity Award,
Charity Charity being the technical partner of Asian Voice Charity Awards.
WP:ANYBIO is met.

Please explain how the awards mentioned in the article are "well-known and significant" as per
WP:ANYBIO. That BEFFTA is mentioned in other articles does not necessarily make it "well-known and significant". Again, the lack of articles for any of these awards would seem indicative of their lack of notability.

The BEFFTA are mentioned in
reliable sources[6],
[7] and other multiple reliable sources which can be found upon a Google search.
Asian Voice is the host of the Asian Voice Charity Awards
Stated here and them being mentioned
here,
here...again more sources can be found upon a Google search.
Charity Clarity is the technical partner of Asian Voice Charity Awards
Stated here.

Delete. Subjects is likely to be notable in the future but certainly not now. There's no
WP:SIGCOV on the subject. He might have won some awards but it doesn't clearly meet notability guidelines.
WP:TOOSOON.

Weak Keep I was able to find additional articles,
[8] and
[9], on Mahmood Ahmadu. Following these I was able to find
[10],
[11], and
[12] on the subject's potential involvement in a scandal. Adding these citations and a section to the current page about this might make the page redeemable according to
WP:SIGCOV, but I'm not familiar with the scandal or Nigeria enough to say for certain.

With regard to the first two links,
Business Wire is a press release agency. Press releases are not independent sources (as required by
WP:SIGCOV) because they are written by people connected to the subjects of the releases – in this case, by the PR manager for OIS, Mahmood Ahmadu's company.
