- Samuel Óghalé Oboh (born March 27, 1971) is a Canadian architect, manager, leader, former Vice President - Architecture at AECOM Canada Architects Ltd - a Fortune 500 Company and the 2015 President of the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada (RAIC). Sam Oboh (as he is commonly known) is the first Canadian of African descent to be elected as president of this Canadian Royal Institute - a feat that the erstwhile director of the Institute of African Studies at Carleton University - Ottawa, the late professor Pius Adesanmi described as "a history-making event on many fronts." In 2021, at the Rio General Assembly, Oboh was elected as the Vice President for Region 3 of the Paris-based International Union of Architects (UIA) - a body recognized by the United Nations, working to unify architects, influence public policies, and advance architecture to serve the needs of society. Oboh was elevated to the College of Fellows of the American Institute of Architects at an investiture ceremony held in New York on June 22, 2018. The citation read at the investiture ceremony noted that "Oboh exemplifies the ideals of stewardship excellence by intensifying public advocacy - inspiring diversity, promoting good design and championing transformative initiatives for public good." With his investiture, Oboh qualified to use the FAIA designation. Only about 3% of architects in the United States of America (and beyond) have this unique distinction. Oboh is a recipient of a number of awards and recognitions including the NCBN Professional Excellence of the Year Award in 2018, and the 2016 Excellence Magazine Award for Leadership. He was named as one of the 150 Extraordinary Canadians - Visionaries who Inspire the Next Generation Canadians (in commemoration of the sesquicentennial of Canadian Confederation); and also named one of the Top 50 Most Influential People in Alberta by Alberta Venture. Since late 2015, Oboh assumed a diplomatic role - serving as the highest ranking representative and Consul for the Republic of Botswana in Canada. (en)
