Group Honours Elder Statesman
One of the leading private-owned newspaper establishments in Rivers State, Weekly Watch Newspaper, has honoured an elder statesman, Sir Hart Fubara with an award of excellence.
Presenting the award recently in Port Harcourt, the Editor -In- Chief, Austen Taneh said the honour is in line with the newspaper’s 19th anniversary celebration.
Taneh said the honour was aimed at promoting excellence and rewarding individuals and corporate bodies for their contributions to the society, stressing that the recipient having served the public meritoriously deserves special ovation.
He said the recipient’s fatherly role in seeing those under him grow and build better society is an eloquent testimony lacking in today’s leaders.
He urged well-meaning individuals to emulate the elder statesman’s examplary lifestyle which, he said has affected those around him.
In his response, the recipient, Amaopusenibo Hart Fubara thanked the group for finding him worthy of the honour.
He said he lacks words to appreciate the gesture accorded him.
