She said: “I am grateful to the organizers of the prestigious award, especially the chairperson of the planning committee, Rev Prof Adaoma Igwedibia, and his dedicated team for creating a platform that recognizes people whose contributions continue to impact society.

“This honor reflects not only my individual efforts, but also the shared path of the people I represent towards progress, development and meaningful impact.
