"On behalf of the government and people of Delta, I congratulate and rejoice with you, our dear leader and former Governor, Dr Emmanuel Uduaghan, CON, on your confernment with Doctor of Public Administration (Honoris Causa) by the University of Nigeria, Nsukka. 

"As an administration we are extremely proud of this honour bestowed on you, particularly as we remember with gratitude, your administration's donation of the Sociology Department building to the university in honour of an illustrious Deltan and first Students Union Government President, late Professor B.I.C. Ijomah. 

"I, also on behalf of the state government, commend the management of UNN for finding you worthy of this prestigious honour. 

"It is our prayer that God will continue to bless you with long life and good health to reap the fruit of your service to God and humanity," Okowa stated.
