The All-Africa Students’ Union (AASU) has hailed Angolan business magnate and philanthropist, Dr. Agostinho Kapaia, after he was decorated with the Angolan Presidential Medal of Honour for Peace and Development by President João Manuel Gonçalves Lourenço.
In an official congratulatory message dated September 10, 2025, AASU President, His Excellency Osisiogu Osikenyi E., said the award was a recognition of Dr. Kapaia’s profound influence on peacebuilding, development, and social progress in Angola. 
“It is with immense pleasure and warmest congratulations that I extend heartfelt felicitations of the continental students’ union to you on being conferred the prestigious Angolan Presidential Medal of Honor for Peace and Development by His Excellency President João Manuel Gonçalves Lourenço,” the statement declared.
The students’ body described Dr. Kapaia’s role as both Chairman of the OPAIA Group and Founder of the OPAIA Foundation as central to his impact. “As a distinguished President of the OPAIA Group and Founder of OPAIA Foundation, your endeavors have evidently had a profound impact, earning you this remarkable honor bestowed by the highest office in Angola,” Osikenyi noted.
According to AASU, the decoration represents more than a personal achievement; it symbolizes national gratitude for leadership and service.
“The Presidential Medal of Honor is a testament to your dedication, vision, and outstanding achievements that have fostered growth and harmony. Your work reflects a commitment to excellence and service that resonates with Angola’s aspirations for peace and development,” the message explained.
The union also drew attention to the continental dimension of Dr. Kapaia’s recognition, pointing out that he was only recently honored with AASU’s own accolade as “Africa’s Most Outstanding CEO” of the year. In the words of the students’ leader, “This is coming weeks after the prestigious conferment of the AASU ‘Africa’s Most Outstanding CEO’ of the Year as a further confirmation of the justification of such international accolades.”
Concluding its message, AASU expressed hope that this national honour will drive even greater achievements. “Please accept our sincere congratulations on this well-deserved accolade. I trust this recognition will further inspire your continued efforts in driving positive change and advancement in Angola and beyond,” the statement added.
The letter was officially copied to President João Manuel Gonçalves Lourenço and the Government of Angola, underscoring the significance of the recognition both at home and across the African continent.
