The Onyebuchi Chris Ifediora (OCI) Foundation has been honoured with the highly coveted “MOST IMPACTFUL NGO OF THE YEAR” at the 2022 (3^rd Edition) of the “PRESTIGIOUS HALL OF FAME AWARD”.  The star-studded event, organised by the “PRESTIGIOUS UNIVERSAL MAGAZINE, PUMA”, was staged to honour organizations who have made meaningful impacts in the life of the society, and was held at the Oriental Hotel, Victoria Island, Lagos, Nigeria.

The award was received on behalf of the OCI Foundation by the organisation’s Champion for Lagos State, Mrs Roseline ANIJEKWU (also the CEO of Caverra World, a Lagos-based NGO with a focus on teenagers), who was accompanied by her husband, Mr Ebele ANIJEKWU, ex-football star.

Also, in attendance for the OCI Foundation was Rev Dr Austin EPUNAM (the Foundation’s National Champion and Founder of the Sweet Home Africa Humanitarian Foundation, AHAF), Mr Ikenna ONUZULIKE (also the National Co-Ordinator, SHAHF), Barr Kingsley UKABI, Amara, and many others.

The OCI Foundation is grateful to the Hall of Fame Awards, including the Convener, Comrade Mcgoshen Onwunzo, for this honour.
