Meet Joshua Idogho, one of our exceptional mentees from the first cohort! In this brief snippet, he shares a glimpse of his transformative journey with RGF. From growth to self-discovery, the RGF mentorship experience is indeed a catalyst for change. His one word description of the Richard George Foundation is 'IMPACT'.

Richard George is my distinguished brother and dear friend. The clarity of his vision and total commitment to giving back to young graduates of his alma mater university, Ambrose Alli University is unbelievable. I served with him in the Governing Council. He has stayed through and steadfast to his core principles of honesty, integrity, accountability and objective. It is an honour to be a legacy partner of RGF.

I am fortunate to have interacted with Richard George during an online session about 10 critical keys to unlocking potential and achieving greatness. His mentoring is focused on exploring potentials within, which is a far more important thing to be shared in this era as people are not trying to explore their inner and natural core competencies instead many of them are just following the others. He also clarifies the greatness within us, which he directs towards being a human first. Greatness doesn’t come from the fame or money one has but from his acts and deeds. I wish him all the very best for his mission to awake people and lead a joyful life rather than a mechanical life. Thanks and Regards

Richard is without doubt one of the best Managers have worked for in my career. He is selfless, caring, and maintains a professional working relationship with staff. He will still call me in his own time, to check on my welfare, to check on my aspirations. We have worked closely on the Network T & R Advocates work stream. This giving me a platform to display my talents, which Richard has recognised. As a result of this getting me a secondment. Much appreciated Richard, you truly a star

As an old student of Hussey college, Warri where Richard also completed his secondary education, it gives me great joy to see this foundation birthed. The custom and practice is to often build structures. It is great but investing in people through mentorship and role model values is what this young generation of Nigerians need to become responsible citizens. Thank RGF for this noble vision..

I have known Mr Richard George for over 3 decades. He is a very competent, compassionate and generous human being. His integrity and intellect are the reasons why I have decided to be part of this visionary project. This can only be positive for our young men and women who often end up not being in education, training, employment and business. It is a game changer!.

I am really excited to be part of this young persons centred development project. I am confident that its beneficiaries (mentors and mentees) will gain a whole lot from working within a safe ecosystem.
