By DAPO OLAWUNI

The National Vice President of the Association of Nigerian Licensed Customs Agents (ANLCA), Prince Olusegun Oduntan, has been bestowed with the Royal Prestigious Award of Excellence by His Royal Majesty, Oba (Barr.) Semiudeen Orimadegun Kasali, the Adeboruwa of Igbogbo Kingdom in Ikorodu.

The award ceremony, held on Sunday, November 24, 2024, was part of the annual celebration of the ancient Igbogbo Kingdom.

The event recognizes notable sons and daughters who have demonstrated excellence and integrity in their chosen careers.

Prince Olusegun, a proud native of the kingdom, was personally nominated by HRM Oba Kasali for his unwavering commitment to promoting the culture and heritage of Ikorodu.

Oba Kasali, in his remarks, highlighted Prince Oduntan’s contributions to the development of the kingdom and his consistent support for cultural preservation.

It is noteworthy that HRM had also played a significant role as the royal father of the day during the launch of the ENSO campaign team at the Ikorodu terminal over a year ago—a campaign that led to the successful election of the current ANLCA president and vice president.

The award ceremony was attended by several distinguished members of ANLCA, underscoring the importance of the occasion. Notable attendees included:

• Alhaji Tunde Awonuga, BOT Member

• Alhaji (Chief) Femi Anifowoshe, Zonal Coordinator (West)

• Alhaji Idowu Owoade, Zonal Secretary (West)

• Hon. Babatunde Adekoya, Vice Chairman and PTML Election Front Runner

• Alhaji Wasiu

• Alhaji Yakub Mustapha

• Mr. Ikechukwu Matins

The award reaffirms Prince Oduntan’s standing as a leader of integrity and an advocate for the growth and unity of his community. His recognition further strengthens the bond between the Igbogbo Kingdom and the ANLCA leadership.
