Dr. Oye Owolewa is a licensed pharmacist, nature explorer and current U.S. Representative of Washington, DC.
Since moving to DC, Dr. Oye spent his non-working time exposing elementary students to nature through hikes and outdoor experiences, believing deeply that connection to the natural world builds character and perspective in young people.
As a Nigerian American elected to Congress, Dr. Owolewa represents a landmark in diaspora political representation — proof that organized civic engagement and community support can translate into real legislative power. NAPAC USA has been proud to endorse Dr. Owolewa and stands behind his continued service.
Dr. Owolewa’s story is a testament to what the Nigerian American community can achieve when we mobilize — from presence to power.
