This time, as in last year, the list comprises the names of
some of the most dynamic and go-ahead youths in Nigerian: those with crowbars
for spines, intuitions that almost always hold up in the face of uncertainty,
and hearts ready to serve Nigeria and Nigerians with every ounce of strength.
To folks uninformed in this regard, RYLA is a Leadership
training initiative that exposes our youths within ages 14- 30 to principles of
leadership, selfless community services and good citizenship. It's Sponsored by
Rotarians/Rotary Clubs and facilitated by Citizenship and Leadership Centre Sea
School Apapa.
In 2019 under the chairmanship of Abiodun Richard Oshinibosi
in District 9110, RYLA Prize of Honour was introduced to identify and celebrate
efforts of youths below 40 in various fields of endeavors within our
communities.
The RYLA Prize of Honour categories are
Technology/Innovation, Entrepreneurship, Education, Fashion, Entertainment,
Agriculture, and Selfless Community Service. (Other categories may emerge in due
time.) Thus, the recipients of the RYLA Prize of Honour are youths who are
Captains of these fields of endeavour nominated by youths an people within the
community via a dedicated digital portal
For 2021, Opeyemi Owosho, Abimbola Oyegbami, Abodunrin Oluwaseun
Buck, ‘7-star’ comedian Dee-One, Ngozi Osawe, and Ayeni Adeleke received the
Prize of Honour for Digital innovation/Technology, Education, Fashion,
Entertainment, entrepreneurship, and agriculture, respectively.
These awesome under-40 youths gathered to the banner of
Abiodun Oshinibosi, Project Marshal/CEO of Abelinis Ltd and initiator of the
RYLA-PoH, and were recognised at the just-concluded closing ceremony of RYLA
2020 held on Sunday 21st of February's 2021. With the First Lady Of Ogun State,
Mrs Bamidele Adiodun in attendance, the six recipients were given credits for
their accomplishments in their various fields by the District Governor Bola
Oyebade and PAG Benedict Okhumale who is District RYLA 2020 chairman.
Opeyemi Owosho is the proud initiator of Homefort Energy.
Committed to delivering cooking gas energy as a service to low-income
households in Africa, Owosho is an alumnus of General Electric Garage, and a
recipient of the 2017 Presidential Standing Committee on Innovation and
Invention (PSCII).
29-year-old Abimbola Oluwakemi Oyegbami is the founder and
proprietor of FeyiGrand Creche and Preparatory School, Abule Egba, Lagos.
Actively stretching the borders of education in her community on the elementary
front, Oyegbami has obtained the admiration of people within and outside her
locality.
Abodunrin Oluwaseun Buck is the Creative Director of Buck, a
multi-talented entrepreneur who is colouring the Nigerian fashion industry with
indigenous class and style. His fashion outfit (Buck) currently employs over 30
functional staff, and advocates the alter/native blend of cultural fashion.
Dee-One is not a strange name to those who spend even half
an hour on the Internet everyday. The happy and handsome comedian is an Arts
and Crafts on his own, and his “ComedyNight with D-one” is an outstanding
entertainment initiative.
Ngozi Osawe is an all-round beauty-enhancement person: an
esthetician, beautician and SPMU Artist. As the CEO of Zeekarh Cosmetics Spa
& Beauty Place, she oversees the health and beauty procedures that are
highly demand by men and women everywhere, from general services like makeup
& skincare, microblading & shading of brows, and lash extensions, to
others like body rolling (wood therapy), G5 slimming massage, vajacial Treatment,
etc.
Ayeni Adeleke is the CEO of FarmToHomes, the platform that
supplies fresh and organic fruits to consumers and retailers in the comfort of
their residential or market spaces. FarmToHomes allows its clients to order
these fruits from its websites, and this is followed by fast deliveries to
desired locations.
And so the New Year is already modelled after these young
paragons, thanks to the recognition of RYLA and its Prize of Honour initiative.
