The 14th edition of the African Leadership Conference and Honours, organised under the auspices of the UN International Peace Governance Council (UNIPGC), African Chapter, will confer the prestigious title of Grand Commander of Peace upon one of Nigeria’s foremost traditional rulers, His Imperial Majesty, Oba Adeyeye Babatunde Enitan Ogunwusi, Ojaja II, the Ooni of Ile-Ife Kingdom, Osun State, South-West Nigeria.
The event, scheduled to take place at the Nigerian Institute of International Affairs (NIIA), Lagos, is in recognition of the royal father’s remarkable contributions to the monarchy and the preservation of Africa’s cultural heritage across the globe.
Among other distinguished African leaders to be honoured is Dr Hussein Ali Mwinyi, who will receive the Award for Outstanding East African President in Support of Maternal and Child Healthcare in East Africa. In addition, he will be conferred with the Grand Commander of Peace (GCOP) Award under the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (UN SDG 16) – Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions.
According to the UNIPGC Global President, Dr Jonathan Ojadah, following an acceptance letter from Tanzania’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, acknowledging President Mwinyi’s enthusiasm and recognition of his impactful work, the double award serves as an acknowledgement of his outstanding contributions to supporting Zanzibar’s mission to provide vital medical equipment and supplies for safe childbirth across the country.
Dr Ojadah highlighted the significant impact of these efforts in safeguarding the lives of mothers and newborns and urged continued support from corporate entities and organisations to sustain these initiatives.
