An International Activist, Philanthropist, and a renowned motivational speaker, Dr. Raymond Edoh has bagged a continental award (2022 Royal African Young Leadership Forum Award) of His Imperial Majesty the Ooni of Ife, Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, OJAJA II.

The Ooni of Ife, His Imperial Majesty
Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, OJAJA II in his resilient quest to build an empire of young leaders with a target of safeguarding the future of the African continent built this noble echelon, Royal African Young Leadership Forum (RAYLF) to serve as a contemporary macrocosm of young people with outstanding aspirations and creative future possibilities that would metamorphose into the future generation of decent economic frontier through the instrumentality of establishing innovative clusters through various mechanisms that can provide Africa its long-awaited self-built confidence, prosperity, and competitive advantage.


Dr. Raymond Edoh was also inducted into the Royal Court of the Kingdom of Ife at the third edition of the RAYLF award ceremony alongside 99 others which took place at the Oduduwa Hall of Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife on Saturday.
