Reacting to the success of the awards over the years, Ashiwaju expressed that over 1,000 entries have been submitted and recognised even though not all made it to the 25 shortlisted final entries. He further said about 90 children have received awards in the major categories over the span of 18 years and more are billed to win in the 2026 edition.

Some of the past winners, who have gone ahead to do great exploits include Kanye, an autistic child that has broken three different Guinness Book records.

Ashiwaju also expressed that there are plans to induct all the past winners into the Indomie Hall of Fame for their giant strides.

Others include Innocent Yamawo (2015) who rescued his sister from a fire, 12-year-old Treasure Obasi (2015) for TV broadcasting, and George Sadoh (2013) for stopping a robbery. The young winners received substantial scholarships and accolades for their bravery, intellect, and social initiatives.
