In the message sent to Amuchie on Tuesday, Adesugba said, “Your contributions to the service of God and to humanity continued to rise to the deserving enviable heights.
First, your proficiency in the media landscape and how you have used the Sundiata Post to perform the constitutional role of holding government accountable to the citizens without fear or favour will forever be acknowledged.
“Second, your service to the work of God as a staunch member of the Catholic Church even resonates more in your local church, the Holy Ghost Parish, Uvuru, Mbaise, Imo State leading to the deserving award of the Icon of Service” to you by the church.
“We are also aware of your humanitarian exploits as the President of the Rotary Club of Abuja, CBD. There is, therefore, no better time to celebrate you such as this moment when your service to God and to man is being publicly acknowledged by the world’s leading church.
“Let me on behalf of the management and staff of the agency congratulate you and to encourage you to continue to use your talent, time and treasure for the service of God and humanity.”
