Gospel Film News can authoritatively confirm that the United Nations has conferred the award of Distinguished Entrepreneurship on gospel filmmaker, Evangelist Paul-Esupofo Oriade. The award was presented on Tuesday, June 27th, 2023, during the World Micro, Small & Medium-Sized Enterprises Day.
Oriade received this recognition for his outstanding contributions to entrepreneurship development and exemplary leadership qualities.
Dr.Bunmi Otunuga, the Executive Director of Nuga Global Multiventures, which partnered with the United Nations, sent Oriade an invitation. The invitation stated, “The United Nations General Assembly has declared June 27th, 2023, as another World Micro, Small & Medium-Sized Enterprises Day and mandated member States and Organizations to celebrate the day in an appropriate manner that creates public awareness of the tremendous contribution of MSMEs to the achievement of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The Centre for Leadership and Good Governance International, in conjunction with NGM Group and with the support of International Cities of Peace, Ohio, Dayton, USA, is pleased to invite you as the Guest of Honor to the Public Lecture & Awards, which form part of the activities marking the 2023 World Micro, Small & Medium-Sized Enterprises Day.”
“The event is expected to host delegates from the mass media, institutions, community partners, academics, labour unions, students, business executives, and government functionaries. It has become an acknowledged fact of history that a man’s deeds are most recorded in the hearts of his observers. Thus, perhaps unknown to you, we have taken special note of your outstanding contribution to the promotion and empowerment of successful entrepreneurs in Nigeria. Therefore, at the occasion, PABLUM MULTIMEDIA will be conferred with the 2023 Distinguished Service Award for outstanding contribution to the socio-economic development of Nigeria, while the CEO, PAUL-ESUPOFO ORIADE, shall be decorated with the 2023 Distinguished Leadership Award for exemplary leadership facilities.”
In a chat with Gospel Film News, Evangelist Paul-Esupofo Oriade gave glory to God for this great feat. He thanked his wife, Evang.Grace O Oriade, and his Pablum Team. He added that he never lobbied for the award, as someone who attended one of his trainings recommended him.
He stressed that his intention was not to make the award public but to keep it online for record purposes.
Oriade who is also the founding leader of The Sword of Excellence Dunamis Ministry Intl and chancellor of The Sword of Excellence Drama-Film University spoke passionately on Education and Technology at the event:
He enumerated the need to start small, accessing news and goals, Professional Development and Training, Collaborative Approach, amongst others so as to be on top of game in business.
