In the message sent to Amuchie on Tuesday, Adesugba said, “Your contributions to the service of God and to humanity continued to rise to the deserving enviable heights. First, your proficiency in the media landscape and how you have used the Sundiata Post to perform the constitutional role of holding government accountable to the citizens without fear or favour will forever be acknowledged.
“Second, your service to the work of God as a staunch member of the Catholic Church even resonates more in your local church, the Holy Ghost Parish, Uvuru, Mbaise, Imo State leading to the deserving award of the Icon of Service” to you by the church.
