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
for in my career. He is selfless, caring, and maintains a

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.

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!.
