“Although the exigency of duties outside our shores will not permit me today to physically share in the joys, happiness and camaraderie that usually define this day for you and us,your humble Mentees,I have since waking up this morning asked my God to: Bless your waking and retiring; Hold you by the hand at all times; Bless your bread and your water; Steady your feet to show us the way; Retain for you the blessing of your foot soldiers;men who will jump to pick your walking-stick when it slips from your hold; Hear your prayers before you mutter them; Bless the fruits of your body; Lift you higher than you ever imagined possible and Answer you whenever you call on Him.

“In this new year of your life,Sir,I have no doubt that the Almighty One will surround you perpetually with sweet songs of family, mentees and other loved ones, and offer you the strength of body and mind to continue to serve our nation, Africa as well as the entire globe as you have continued to do these many years.
