Speaking to newsmen after the award, Emetulu, “I am honored and humbled that the University and Alumni Association saw me as someone worthy of this recognition,” he expressed.

The lawmaker who had previously served as the Delta State Commissioner for Education said, “My role is to continually do what I can to protect education and ensure our children are equipped to participate in a diverse, changing world, ready to participate as contributing members of their states, nations and the world.

“It’s my role to not only carry the message that education is incredibly important but always support it development. In its absence, our society would struggle.”

He urged the University to as always, consistently equip the students with the leadership acumen, skills and knowledge needed in the larger society after graduation.

In an interview, an enthusiast of Emetulu’s political landmarks, Dr Chidipeters Okorie, Editor in Time Africa Magazine, while praising Vice Chancellor Egwunyenga for honoring deserving alumni of the institution, said, “the awards are truly an honor bestowed on the recipients for their exemplary service to others and the University. This year’s group of honorees are outstanding and bring tremendous pride to their alma mater.”

Specifically, he said, “It is an honor to celebrate and felicitate with Hon Emetulu, I have always admired him as a refined, articulate lawmaker who understands leadership by example – it’s not do as I say, it’s do as I do. He understands that his job as a legislator is not to hold up finger to see which way the winds are blowing, but to have the courage to stay out of step when everyone else is marching to the wrong tune.”

He described Emetulu “a public servant without equal, and above all, just an amazing man and a mentor of mine.”
