Welcome to the Obafemi Awolowo Foundation

I welcome you to the renewed digital home of the Obafemi Awolowo Foundation, a beacon dedicated to preserving and advancing the timeless ideals of one of Africa’s greatest statesmen, Chief Obafemi Awolowo.

For over three decades, we have remained steadfast in our mission to keep alive the values of visionary leadership, integrity, social justice, and the tireless pursuit of national progress. Through dialogues, conferences, seminars, webinars and the Awo Conversations, we continue to provide platforms where ideas meet action, inspiring generations to build a better society.

The Obafemi Awolowo Prize for Leadership, instituted in 2012, celebrates excellence and courage in service, while the HID Awolowo Foundation, established in 2016, expands our commitment to humanity.

This upgraded website is more than a portal. It is a living space where history, legacy, and the future converge. We invite you to explore, engage, and partner with us as we work together to uphold the Awo vision of a just, prosperous, and enlightened society.

Thank you for being part of this journey. Together, we can keep the flame of the Awo legacy burning brightly.

Ambassador Dr O. Awolowo Dosumu,
Executive Director, Obafemi Awolowo Foundation.
