A university lecturer, Prof Timothy A.T. Wahua, has identified service to society as a sure route to greatness.

Describing service as the provision of what humanity needs for growth and development, Prof Wahua admonished members of the society who fold their arms and complain of not being given an opportunity to serve to look inward so as to realise their potentials.

Speaking recently after being conferred with the title of Eze Omehia Oha V of Rumu-Ada by His Royal Highness, Eze Anthony Nmehielle, Nyenwe-Eli Rumu-Ada community in Ogbakiri, the Director, Consultancy Service, Rivers State University of Science  and Technology, Port Harcourt urged youths of the area to shun pride and think of how best they could contribute to the development of the community, stressing that it was by service that the doors of heaven could be opened for divine benevolence.

“Look at Ogbakiri for instance. By the left, we have the sea to exploit. By the right, we have the land to farm. In the food industry alone, we can produce, distribute, market and transport. The City of  Port Harcourt is just a stone throw,” he said wondering why others come into the community and become rich overnight while his people continue to search for opportunities, and advised them to have a rethink.
