According to him, the success of the ceremony demonstrated what the people could achieve when they united around a common purpose.
“I am deeply humbled by the encouragement and confidence shown in the Idoma Hall of Fame. What we witnessed was more than an event; it was a demonstration of what we can accomplish when we unite around a common purpose,” he said.
The convener urged the people to shun bitterness, division, unnecessary rivalry and sentiments capable of weakening their collective strength.

Ikwue further called for greater attention to critical areas of development, including education, infrastructure, enterprise, healthcare, culture, technology, leadership, youth and women empowerment, agriculture and human capital development.

“Let this celebration mark the beginning of a stronger culture of unity, collaboration and purposeful development,” he stated.
