He said the honors given to David Umahi, the governor of Ebonyi, Ifeanyi Ifeanyi of Enugu State, and Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, the director general of the World Trade Organization, were well merited.
“We salute these eminent Igbo sons and daughters in a very special way of making us proud. The two South-East Governors who are beneficiaries of these awards have made their mark in governance and deserve the national honour. We are so proud of their achievements so far in office.
“On the part of Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, she has made Ndigbo and indeed Nigeria proud among the comity of nations. As the Director-General of the World Trade Organization, she has not let us down.
“We are also proud of other Igbo leaders, industrialists and businessmen, Igwe Prof. Laz Ekwueme, Dr. Allen Onyema, Dr. Innocent Chukwuma, among others, for making the list,” Okwu said.
