Congratulations on your Meritorious National Honour Award
On December 28,2023, the Governor, People and the Traditional Institution in Abia State rolled out carpets at a Grand Civic Reception in your honour at Umuahia,and joyously conferred on you the award of “Enyi Abia.”
Therefore, it was with great elation and relief that I received the news of your recent recognition and investiture with the prestigious national honour of Commander of the Order of the Niger (CON)by the Federal Government.
Coming from His Excellency,President Ahmed Bola Tinubu GCFR,a President that is reputed with a keen eye for excellence, the recognition is both a testament of your sterling qualities and reward for responsible leadership.
The honour is not surprising, but most deserving,because the Good News Bible actually has you in mind when it says in Proverbs 22:29,”Show me someone who does a good job,and I wil show you someone who is better than most and worthy of the company of kings.”
To a man of immense wisdom,impeccable integrity and towering accomplishments,I,on behalf of myself, wife an children, heartily congratulate you on this historic recognition and pray that it serves as a spur to more awards and encouragement for greater achievements in the service of our people.
Again, Congratulations ,Your Excellency.
Rep. Sir Sam Onuigbo
