According to him, “Amuneke is a pride of all.
A child of yesterday who has so lifted the community by helping not only his immediate family but that of others. “We are confering him with the title for his humility and honesty”.
Responding, Amuneke said he was overwhelmed and at the same time grateful for the honour. “All I’m doing is not by my power but by the grace of God. God knows why he has given each of us different talents but we have to identify our talent and use it to the glory of God.”
