Nigerian Artist, Kunle Adewale Gets His Own Special Day In The U.S

While some boast of fraudulent acts abroad, It’s elating to know that other Nigerians bring nothing but Glory to the nation.
In a country where the Government despises Nigeria for acts of corruption, there have also been some citizens who steal their hearts.

Nigerian artist and medical practitioner, Kunle Adewale, has received a rare international recognition in the U.S when the Mayor of Cincinnati declared August 2 as “Kunle Adewale Day” in recognition of his contribution to the United States in both fields of Arts and Medicine. The Mayor, John Cranley, made the declaration with a seal.

Adewale in an announcement yesterday, August 16, said that the recognition is a reward for his passion towards serving humanity in his chosen fields. He added that his dedication has only begun as he is dedicated to putting more efforts in his service towards the people.

He said: “Kunle Adewale Day is a testament of my passion for development work, servant leadership, continuous intercontinental partnership with diplomatic missions, global art institutions, Professional arts in health organisations and my civic engagements through the arts.”

“Kunle Adewale Day is dedicated to serve to humanity through creative engagements in communities across Cincinnati, Ohio and Nigeria,” he added.

Adewale is an award-winning artist from Nigeria and founder of Tender Arts Nigeria, a non-profit organisation that focuses on art education, talent development, and therapeutic art programs.

He used his 11 days in Cincinnati in Ohio in meaningful engagement with the community as he impacted both young and old.
