INDEPENDENCE DAY GOODWILL MESSAGE
On this auspicious occasion of Nigeria’s 65th Independence Anniversary and the 29th Anniversary of the creation of Ebonyi State, we, the beneficiaries of the FON Postgraduate Scholarship Programme, extend our heartfelt felicitations to Your Excellency.
Your visionary leadership has not only repositioned Ebonyi State on the map of national relevance but has also carved a niche of excellence through unprecedented investments in education, agriculture, healthcare, infrastructure, and human capital development. Your Excellency’s unwavering commitment to youth empowerment, particularly through the fully funded postgraduate scholarship scheme, has made Ebonyi the emerging academic hub of Nigeria and a beacon of hope for the future.
We also deeply appreciate the doggedness and fatherly guidance of the Chairman of the Ebonyi State Scholarship Board, Chief Chaka Eze Nweze, and the entire Board for their tireless efforts in ensuring that the vision of Your Excellency is implemented seamlessly to the joy of hundreds of Ebonyi scholars at home and abroad.
Today, as Ebonyi turns 29 and Nigeria celebrates 65 years of nationhood, we proudly affirm that under your administration, Ebonyi has become a model of purposeful leadership, innovation, and people-centered governance.
May the Almighty continue to bless Your Excellency with wisdom, health, and strength to take Ebonyi State and Nigeria to greater heights.
Long live Nigeria! Long live Ebonyi State! Long live His Excellency, Rt. Hon. (Dr.) Francis Ogbonna Nwifuru!
Respectfully,
Engr. Eze Kingsley Ogechukwu,
