“As an advocate of development planning, you laid a solid foundation for socio-economic progression and sustainable growth in Anambra, while serving as the Governor of the State. You are also a successful industrialist, who stands out as a worthy role model for the youths in hard work, humility and consummate entrepreneurship.”
