President Buhari acknowledged Governor Wike’s “grand wonder” in Rivers State during the inauguration of the Dr. Nabo Graham Douglas Campus of the Nigeeian Law School in the city of Port Harcourt.
Buhari described Wike as “an unrelenting advocate of true federalism in Nigeria”.
The Attorney General of the Federation and the Minister of Justice, Justice Abubakar Malami (SAN), represented President Buhari, in commissioning the “grand wonder” edifice.
According to NAN, Malami said: “I need not engage in poetic verbosity to properly describe the grand wonder that is being commissioned today.
“The icing on the cake is the fact that this edifice and its state-of-the-art facilities are structured to be self-sustaining through associated revenue earners, as designed by a man of higher vision who is now fondly referred to as Mr Project.
“These are indeed pace-setting and unparalleled contributions by a state government to what is ordinarily under the remit of the Federal Government.
“Wike’s dedication to these projects is better appreciated from the viewpoint of his being an unrelenting advocate of true federalism in Nigeria.
“Indeed, our dear nation needs more of such unifying efforts; It is in recognition of the foregoing that my administration discarded political considerations and acknowledged excellence, by conferring Gov.Wike with the Nigerian Excellence Award in Public Service.
“Your Excellency, you have indeed immortalised yourself and history will be kind to you.”
