He added, “coincidentally, there is also a campus of Baptist College of Theology in Ahoda, where I come from. I think that this is a call for me to be conscious of that campus. Though I have not been there. It is a consciousness for me to contribute my own quota. For me, it is a partnership, a thing everyone of us should be concerned about. I appreciate the Honor. I thank the school management for finding me worthy of the Award to which I vow to continually respond to in terms of benevolence and commitment to the service of God and humanity”.

He charged the graduands to always be conscious of the fact that they will have to contribute positively to society to make it a better place for all persons.
