A Life Dedicated to Peace, Education and Human Rights

Chief Dr. Agrippa O. Ezozo is a Nigerian-born American human resources executive, nonprofit leader and peace advocate whose career bridges education, institutional leadership, community engagement and humanitarian service.

Born on 24 April 1957, Dr. Ezozo began his professional journey as a teacher in Nigeria after graduating from Wudil Teacher's College in Kano State. In 1981, he relocated to the United States, where he continued his education and built a career that combined professional excellence with community service.

He earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Information Systems from California State University, Dominguez Hills, and a master's degree in African Area Studies and Public Policy from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA).

His academic background and professional experience have informed his longstanding interest in education, public policy, institutional development and the advancement of African communities and the wider African diaspora.

Founder and President of the African Diaspora Foundation

One of Dr. Ezozo's most significant contributions is his role as Founder and President of the African Diaspora Foundation (ADF), a nonprofit organisation dedicated to promoting peace education, human rights awareness and constructive engagement within African and global communities.

Through the foundation, he has championed initiatives that encourage dialogue, strengthen cultural understanding and promote values of justice, equity, peaceful coexistence and humanitarian responsibility.

His work reflects a belief that lasting progress requires education, informed leadership, respect for human dignity and meaningful cooperation among communities.

Beyond his nonprofit leadership, Dr. Ezozo has held several professional and community leadership positions. He previously served as Director of Human Resources at Venice Family Clinic, a healthcare organisation affiliated with UCLA, and worked within the UCLA Health System.

His professional and community involvement has also included serving as President of the UCLA Black Faculty and Staff Association and Co-Chair of the California Delegation to the National Summit on Africa. In addition, his work in community publishing and advocacy has included engagement with The Black Church Review and the League of Patriotic Nigerians.

These experiences reflect a career shaped by organisational leadership, community participation and a commitment to strengthening relationships between institutions and the communities they serve.

Recognising a Legacy of Humanitarian Service and Leadership

The Clevenard Global Awards recognise individuals whose achievements, leadership and contributions make a meaningful difference in their professional fields and communities.

The honorary distinction to be presented to Chief Dr. Agrippa O. Ezozo will celebrate his contributions to peace education, human rights advocacy, professional leadership and African diaspora engagement.

In 2024, Dr. Ezozo received an Honorary Doctorate in Peace and Humanitarian Education in recognition of his work in peacebuilding and community development.

His previous recognitions also include the United Nations Youth for Human Rights International Peace Award in 2010, the UCLA Campus Human Resources Milestone Award in 1999, UCLA Staff Assembly Recognition Awards in 1997 and 1999, and the UCLA Black Faculty and Staff Association Award in 1994.

These recognitions form part of a professional and humanitarian journey dedicated to education, institutional service and the promotion of human dignity.

By honouring Dr. Ezozo at its 2027 international gathering, Clevenard seeks to celebrate the importance of leadership that combines professional experience with a commitment to peace, education and the empowerment of communities.
