Message From the Chair of the Board of Trustees

Dear Members, Friends, and Visitors,

On behalf of the USA Ogun State Indigenes and Professionals Forum, I warmly welcome you to our platform, a vibrant space created to unite, inspire, and strengthen the collective power of Ogun State indigenes living in the United States and around the world.

Our organization was founded on a simple yet powerful belief: that when people of shared heritage come together with a purpose, they can become a force for meaningful change, both in their adopted communities and in their homeland. As sons and daughters of the great Ogun State, we carry with us not only the legacy of our ancestors but also the responsibility to contribute to a brighter, more prosperous future for generations to come.

Our vision is to become the leading diaspora organization that empowers and unites Ogun indigenes through advocacy, cultural preservation, professional advancement, and strategic engagement, all in service of the sustainable development of Ogun State and Nigeria.

Through this forum, we are building bridges between generations, across sectors, and across borders. We are committed to promoting good governance, preserving our cultural heritage, supporting innovation and research, and fostering economic empowerment through collaboration and education. We believe that the diaspora has a vital role to play not only as advocates but also as active participants in shaping the future of Ogun State.

Whether you’re a professional, student, entrepreneur, community leader, or a friend of Ogun State, I invite you to explore, engage, and join us. Together, let’s rise to the challenge of nation-building with pride in our heritage and purpose in our stride.

Thank you for your support and commitment to this noble cause.

 

Warm regards,

 

Chief Adeniyi Olukayode Oridate – Chair of the Board of Trustees
