On August 2, 2023, the “Prince of the Nigerian Senate“, the Distinguished Senator Patric Ifeanyi Uba (Anambra South Senatorial District) hosted a joint delegation from the Sweet Home Africa Humanitarian Foundation (SHAHF) and the OC Foundation.

The event, which was at his Maitama residence in Abuja, Nigeria’s Federal Capital Territory, was part of the consultations with stakeholders shortlisted for award recognitions by the SHAHF. The award conferment ceremony, scheduled for September the 28^th, 2023, at the Nicon Luxury Hotel, Abuja, will be part of the events marking the Unveiling of the 20th Anniversary of SHAHF/Unveiling of the INVESTIGATIVE PRESIDENTIAL SWEET HOME MAGAZINE.

Other award nominees were also visited in other parts of Abuja on the same day. One visit was to the Nigerian Police Force Headquarters to see Mr. Frank Mba, a Deputy Inspector General (DIG) of Police.

Also seen was Nigeria’s Number 1 Human Right Crusader, “Ordinary President Ahmed Isah”, Founder of Brekete Family and the Human Rights Radio/Television Station in Abuja, Nigeria.

During the visit to Senator Uba, Rev. Dr. Austine Ifeanyi Epunam (JP), the Founder of SHAHF and Facilitator of the Award Event, presented a complimentary copy of the Sweet Home Magazine to Senator Uba, who represents the Anambra South Senatorial District at the red chambers of the Nigerian Senate. A request was also made to Senator Uba to Chair the award event on September 28th.

In attendance at the visit were other members of the SHAHF and OCI Foundation, Mr Ifeanyi Anueyiagu and Mr Luter Ikyobo. They were joined by some Royal Fathers, including  Ezeigbo C.C. Okoli (of Suleja, Niger State) and Igwe Ochendo Ogidi-Igbo of Ado kingdom, Abuja (the Lion King). The Royal Fathers thanked the Senator for standing for less-privileged Nigerians.

In his response, Senator Uba, who is the President of the Ifeanyi Uba Foundation, along with his wife, Lady Uche Uba (the Vice President),  thanked the delegation for the gesture. Hon. Vin Onyeka, the Director General of the Ifeanyi Uba Foundation, was also in attendance.

SHAHF was founded by Rev Dr. Epunam and others 20 years ago, in Europe 20, as part of the plans to stop unplanned oversea trips by Africans. It was registered in Nigeria in 2006 to support and advocate good governance and discourage youths from dangerous ventures.

The OCI Foundation collaborates with the Ifeanyi Uba Foundation (established by Senator Ifeanyi Uba) and Sweet Home Africa Humanitarian Foundation on multiple areas, particularly on the “Arm Our Youths (ArOY) Anti-cancer Health Campaign” with the Nigerian National Youths Service Corps (NYSC), which is being felt positively by hundreds of thousands of Nigerian youths across the country.

Another area of collaboration stems from Dr Uba’s firm support and commitment to the OCI Foundation’s anti-cancer Bill that aims to integrate anti-breast and anti-cervical cancer teachings into the curriculum of Senior Secondary Schools in Nigeria.
