 I am honoured to join so many from all over the country and around the world to celebrate the life and times of an outstanding pioneer educationist and a committed public servant. The late chiefs are from Korea before a man who devoted his entire life to public service, to his community and to the church. The story of educational development in many communities in Delta and in those states cannot be told without the extensive, without the contributions of the late chief of public. Indeed, there are entire communities that own the level of their educational development to the levels of this great educationist. But Pao Pao was also devoted to Progresity of Nigeria in Ika and the Myanmar areas under the leadership of the late chief of Afemiah Willow. When he returned from the University of Wales where he obtained a bachelor's degree in education, he rejoined the Bender State Civil Service where he served very physically as a teacher of principles and practices of education at the Teacher's Training College in Winichow London. Subsequently, he helped to found the Oa Wihigo Teacher's Training College where he retired as principal special in 1984. We have been told already that the late Sir Ako Koa was a devout Christian of the Anglican faith. Today, as we celebrate the exceptional life of this great son and leader of the traditional kingdom in his hometown of Oa Wihigo, we are reminded of the scripture in Proverbs 19 verse 22, Proverbs 13 verse 22. A good man lives and inheritors to his children's children. A good man lives and inheritors to his children's children. I think it is obvious that the inheritance that a good man lives cannot be housed with money or other forms of material wealth. In any event, there is no guarantee that material wealth can last generations. Ultimately, it is a legacy, a legacy of faith, of character and selfless service to God and man. It is only such an inheritance, such a legacy, that influences the trajectory of the lives of children and grandchildren and indeed whole communities and nations. There is no doubt that Ako Koa has left an inheritance for his children's children and for his community, for his state and for his nation. But he took education and discipline so seriously that he made it his life one. That he saw public service as a calling and politics as an important component of service to one's community and to one's people. One of the strengths is benefitted and still benefits because of the decisions that we make by the services of the world great and discipline leadership of Senator Akoa, his Excellency Governor of Delta State today. First as a local government chair, then as a senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and now as Governor of Delta State. A father's faithfulness to the education of his own and others is an example of the fact that Ako Koa is a member of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and now as Governor of Delta State. A father's faithfulness to the education of his own and others is an example of public service with integrity and his commitment to his faith has given an inheritance that has endured and will by God's grace continue to endure. This community, this state, this nation has been blessed by the life of this unassuming teacher from Mawa'a Lera. And as we window this family and we pray that the Lord God Almighty will come for you, we pray also that the memory and his legacy will remain forever blessed in Jesus' mighty name. Amen. Thank you.
