Honour knows where the home is and to whom it belongs. Without missing its steps, it unhesitatingly found the right man; founder of EdoPride and CEO of Quo Energy, Kazeem Bello-Osagie, who is to be conferred with an honorary doctorate degree in humanitarianism by Higher Place Christian University in the USA for his good work in promoting the Edo culture and empowering and inspiring youth.
The nomination for one of the university’s highest honours done to Kazeem Bello-Osagie, the global ambassador and chief promoter of Edo culture, is typically reserved for five persons in a year carried out under the direction of the Chair and Board of professors of Higher Place Christian University (HPCU) in Atlanta, Georgia. The eminent business man was found worthy for the award, especially as he has been involved in building people and contributing his quota to humanity and mankind, with love, passion and drive for his heritage.
In his appreciation of the gesture of goodwill from the Higher Place Christian University (HPCU), Kazeem Bello-Osagie dedicated the doctorate degree to God and the people of Edo State, highlighting that the recognition from a reputable university in the United States of Ameria is a clear indication that his hard work has not been in vain, and that the journey had just started.
The conferment of the doctorate is the highest form of recognition by HPCU to persons of exceptional distinction, both in their personal life, career, business, professional and ministry.
The date for the official conferment of the doctoral degree ceremony is Saturday, March 4th, 2023, in Atlanta, Georgia, at Sonesta Suites & Resort 1775 Pleasant Hill Rd, Duluth, GA 30096 USA.
The new feather just added to Kazeem Bello-Osagie’s cap is a valid reward for the unreserved big-heartedness towards his kinsmen and state, which propelled him to establish EdoPride, expending personal resources for the preservation and promotion of the culture and tradition of Edo State throughout the world and giving all citizens a sense of pride and belonging, wherever they may be.
Most especially, EdoPride has provided Edo citizens in the Diaspora an uncommon place to converge, stay in touch with their heritage and always accompanied with the feeling that they never left home. In acknowledgment of its tremendous impact and essence of the platform, it was recently verified on Instagram.
What started like a thought and vigorously pursued by Bello-Osagie has become a global sensation being approved by all. The global image EdoPride has built in a short period of time is a reflection of the resilience and success profile of its visioner as a businessman. Being unable to speak the language because he was not born in the immediate environment the language is spoken was too small a challenge to deter him from driving a course he was convinced would benefit humanity.
