Lagos, Nigeria – Richie Ifeanyi Ogbuehi, the CEO and Managing Director of Richie Music Empire, has been honoured with an Award of Excellent Performance by the non-governmental organization, Likeminds Support for Good Governance in Africa (LSGGA), for his outstanding contributions to youth development in Nigeria’s music industry.

The award was presented to him at the company’s head office located in VGC Estate, Lekki, in recognition of his unwavering commitment to nurturing young talents and creating life-changing opportunities for youths through music.

Richie Music Empire currently manages promising artists such as Ranti and Blaqmanta, and is actively engaged in talent hunts across several states including Edo, Kogi, Delta, and Imo. Notably, the label once groomed Qing Madi, who has since risen to international acclaim.

In his acceptance speech, Ogbuehi—fondly known in the entertainment industry as Don Richie—expressed deep appreciation to LSGGA for the honour and for appointing him as a Youth Ambassador and Mentor. He acknowledged the challenges within the industry, citing betrayal and lack of appreciation from some of those he has helped, but affirmed that the recognition has renewed his commitment to youth empowerment.

"This award is a source of renewed vigour for me," he said. "It reminds me that the work we do in developing young talents and promoting our cultural heritage is not in vain."

Don Richie dedicated the award to God Almighty, the entire management team of Richie Music Empire, as well as his family and friends who have supported him through the years.

The recognition by LSGGA further cements Richie Ifeanyi Ogbuehi’s reputation as a trailblazer in Nigeria’s music scene and a passionate advocate for youth development.
