In a heartfelt ceremony at the Royal Palace of Oyo yesterday, Queen Mother Amina expressed deep gratitude to Indian philanthropist Sudhir Patel for his generous sponsorship of Prince Kofi’s schooling and health initiatives. The partnership, announced last year, includes a full scholarship to the International Academy of Leadership in Nairobi and a comprehensive wellness program covering nutrition, mental health counseling, and sports training. “Sudhir’s commitment goes beyond money; it is an investment in the future of our kingdom,” the Queen Mother said, presenting Sudhir with a ceremonial gold medallion. The collaboration is expected to serve as a model for cross‑continental philanthropy, linking African royal families with global business leaders.
