He described the wife of the former Governor of Rivers State as a model and an exemplary woman of good praying culture who through her spirited prayers and result driven ideas has contributed immensely to the life's successes of her husband. He charged the graduands to embrace the labor market with great optimism and courageously confront the challenges of a competitive world by vigorously pursuing set goals and fruitfully applying the acquired skills.
"ESI is giving young people the tools they need to survive in this highly competitive 21st century. As individuals we must not relent in rendering selfless service to humanity because human development is a task that must be done; and I am further inspired and encouraged by the achievements of ESI. It's a good thing that NDDC is giving her full support; my prayer is for more agencies and well meaning individuals to also give their support to enable the organization achieve more." he added.
Indeed, the joy that took over the atmosphere of the venue proved that the Niger delta people are proud of Dame Judith Amaechi for all that she has been doing through the ESI. May God bless Nigeria.
