How do you feel?
I feel so excited and all glory be unto God.
I dedicate this to my mum, my late dad, and the big grandma here with me.

Without my mum, I can’t be here today. I also can’t forget in a hurry the words of encouragement and support of my late dad, who died in the course of this endeavor, and the rest is history today.
As for my mum, the barton, the struggle, and the entire responsibility fell on her as a widow; I could not have done anything without her. She is more than a thousand mums to me.
What’s your message to the youths out there, particularly other colleagues who could not be here today?
My words to them are that, they should not lose hope, just do your best, be diligent in everything you do, and leave the rest in God’s hands. Thank you.
