Your Excellency,
The Ahiajoku Centre joins the good people of Imo State in celebrating a leader whose commitment to the tangible and intangible heritage of our people is evident. We heartily congratulate you on your 67th Birthday.
Leadership is often measured by what is built, but legacy is defined by what is preserved. Your Excellency’s decisive restoration of the Ahiajoku Lecture Series was a watershed moment for Igbo intellectualism. By breathing life back into this pan-Igbo colloquium, you have ensured that the harvest of our intellect remains as celebrated as the harvest of our yams.
You have proven that a state that honours its mind and history is a state prepared for the future. For this, history will judge you kindly.
As you celebrate 67 years of grace, we pray for your continued health and vitality. May the wisdom of the ancients guide your steps, and may your tenure continue to yield a bountiful harvest of peace and development for Imo State.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ONWA
Yours in service to our heritage
Hon. Nze Ray Emeaña
Director-General
Ahiajoku Centre
