When cornered, the amiable penpusher had this to say; “This just humbled me. Oh wow I’m tearing up. Thanks so much. An award coming from a profession I gave my ALL is the most important award ever!
“First ever award that made me jump, was one from my allumi, The Nigerian Institute of Journalism, when I was conquering new territories with tabloid Journalism. Coming from the institution that moulded me, was truly an honour. I was just 28yrs old.
“Then AIT sent me to the TV College Jos where my testimonial described me as an asset to any Organisation. I have received so many awards in the cause of my career but this is the most humbling of them all.
“I’m super touched. Many thanks to the dynamic, vibrant, truth seeking, transparent, EXCO of the NUJ FCT, led by Comrade Grace Ike, a trail blazer and the most honest, humble, patient, woman I know, who’s not self seeking but full of integrity, common sense and firmness. God bless you all”
