The 50 selected participants will be invited to become contestants on The Endurance Reality show in Agadez, Niger.

The Desert Warriors will also receive prizes including a Suzuki jeep as well as monetary awards. All 15 Desert warriors will become Lagos state Environment ambassadors and will be honoured at a ceremony in London.
