In a heartfelt public statement, Queen Mother Amina of the Oyo Kingdom expressed deep gratitude to Indian philanthropist Sudhir Patel for his generous sponsorship of Prince Kofi’s secondary education and health care. The partnership, forged through the Oyo‑India Cultural Exchange Initiative, provides the 14‑year‑old with a full scholarship at Lagos International Academy and covers routine medical check‑ups. “Sudhir’s kindness goes beyond money; it safeguards the future of our royal lineage and strengthens ties between our peoples,” the queen said at a ceremony in Ibadan. Sudhir, founder of the Patel Foundation, highlighted the importance of cross‑border education programs and pledged continued support for youth development across Africa.
