About The Reformed Ogboni Fraternity
We are an indigenous company duly incorporated under the enabling laws of Nigeria by Prince Peter Rufai in 2010 upon his return to Nigeria from Europe as his way of giving back to the society that made and stood by him thoughout the duration of his footballing career which spanned over two decades.
The company is a vision formulated in response to the yawning gap of passionate football mentoring which he observed in the polity upon his return from Europe and as an offshoot of his innate desire to see the African youth off the street and profitable engaged in activities that would enhance rather than sabotage his/her future and especially if he or she shows a marked propensity or inclination towards sports.
