Among the recipients, Asiwaju Prince Olatunji Olusoji will receive the Golden Torch of Humanity Award, the highest honorary recognition of the day.

Known for his rare compassion, humility, and relentless service to humanity, Asiwaju Olusoji has impacted countless lives across Nigeria—empowering the less privileged, orphans, widows, the elderly, and jobless youth through education, healthcare, and skill-based support.

Speaking ahead of the event, the Delta State Coordinator of SWEF, Amb. Dr. Mrs. Rose Obi, remarked: “Asiwaju Prince Olatunji Olusoji deserves this prestigious award. His heart for the needy, the hopeless, and vulnerable is second to none. From sponsoring over 700 students through JAMB, WAEC, and NECO, to supporting churches, mosques, traditional rulers, medical workers, and community initiatives—his impact is overwhelming yet unsung.”

The inauguration ceremony that will be chaired by Elder Emmanuel Ogidi will also be graced by top dignitaries including Delta State First Lady (Mama Delta), Her Excellency Deaconess Tobore Oborevwori, Princess Pat Ajudua, Hon. Commissioner for Women Affairs as well as Dr. Helen Taiwo Adebakin, National President of SWEF, among other eminent personalities within and outside Delta State.

This historic event marks a new chapter for SWEF’s Delta State Chapter, which is focused on promoting women empowerment, leadership, and grassroots development.

The awards segment is designed to shine the spotlight on individuals who are silently but powerfully transforming lives.

Asiwaju Prince Olusoji’s recognition reflects the Forum’s values of service, impact, and inclusion. While he stands tall as the foremost honoree of the day, all awardees and dignitaries will be honored with the respect and visibility they deserve.

The organizers invited the general public to attend “the groundbreaking event and be part of a transformational movement that uplifts the forgotten and celebrates those who serve humanity without fanfare.”
