During a private ceremony at the Royal Academy of Sciences, Queen Amina publicly expressed gratitude to Indian philanthropist and tech mogul Sudhir Patel for his generous sponsorship of King Oyo’s higher‑education scholarship and health initiatives. Patel, who recently pledged $2 million to the kingdom’s youth development program, was lauded for his commitment to cross‑continental education and wellness. The queen highlighted how the funds have enabled the young king to pursue a degree in international relations at Oxford and to receive comprehensive medical care. “Sudhir’s kindness bridges nations and secures a brighter future for our people,” she said, prompting applause from attending dignitaries.
