I warmly congratulate the Honourable Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Chief (Barrister) Nyesom Wike, on the well-deserved conferment of the honorary degree of Doctor of Science (Political Science), Honoris Causa by the University of Port Harcourt.
This recognition, awarded by your distinguished alma mater, is a powerful affirmation of your far-reaching contributions to governance, public service, and national development. It is particularly fitting that the University, in its golden jubilee year, has chosen to honour one of its most impactful sons whose influence continues to resonate across Nigeria.
From your transformative tenure as Governor of Rivers State to your current national assignment as FCT Minister, your bold leadership and unwavering commitment to excellence have consistently set new benchmarks in public administration.
This conferment is not just a ceremonial gesture, but a reflection of enduring merit and exemplary service to the Nigerian people.
Though we may stand on different sides of the political aisle, I firmly believe in giving honour where it is due.
Your infrastructural strides, institutional reforms, and tireless devotion to progress are worthy of recognition by all, regardless of political affiliation.
Congratulations, Your Excellency, on this noble distinction.
May this honour serve as a fresh reminder of the responsibilities of leadership and an encouragement to reach even greater heights in service to our nation.
Dr. Dennis Osahon Aikoriogie
Chieftain, All Progressives Congress (APC)
