Ude Oko Chukwu applauded his humanitarian gesture and patriotism towards joining hands with the government and stakeholders to creating wealth and youth employment in the state, stressing, however, that he ( Okegbue) is a blessing to Abians, as he encouraged him never to relent on his good and kind-hearted deeds.

It is good that this award is coming this time, and truly, I thank God for it and believe that when we join hands in supporting the government, especially on youth employment and wealth creation, it reduces the burden on the government. I encourage my Abia brothers and Sisters to come back home and invest.

This award will encourage me to do more”, he concluded. The Ambassador who is the MD/CEO of Combatant Guards Limited has empowered Nigerian youths in the last five to ten years, mentoring and encouraging self-development, wealth creation and employment, including sponsorship to organisations.
