 I'm honoured to join all of you to celebrate the 30 outstanding years of this institution. I will most honour the selflessness and the enterprise and experience of the founders who not only dared to envision this great institution, but committed their lives and resources to give birth to it. Five and then ten extraordinary women who, after making a success of their lives and careers, cared to look back and give back. But it is to the staff of the school also that we owe a special debt of gratitude for running with a vision and executing the mandate of moulding and developing the many young talents for which there were custodians and doing so masterfully in the past 30 years. But a school is ultimately about its students, what they become in character, in violence and learning and especially what difference they make in their societies. Almost invariably we are products of our environment, especially our schools. There our world view is formed, our ethics are shaped, our sense of fairness right and wrong is born, our fidelity to principles, loyalty to family, friends and the nature is defined. Indeed all that ultimately makes us who we are is likely to develop in school. So not surprisingly, as a part of this event, you are unveiling the school's ten ambassadors of education made up of some particularly exemplary former students whose remarkable achievements in their various fields of endeavour are the pride of the school and indifference. From Kemi Aditibar, the award-winning filmmaker, music video director, filmmaker and television director who has become a leading light in Nigeria's movie industry and who wrote and directed two top-grossing Nigerian movies, The Wedding Party, One and Two, King of Boys, The First and The Second, these outstanding achievements in a few short years to down another movie who at 28 builds and manages the five Lingos independent power plants. She went on to become the presidential advisor of power she worked with me for a few years before going on to have a major federal agency. She was responsible for building the largest power, the largest solar power plant in Nigeria, the seven kilowatt solar plant that is in the Bairu University camp. She was recently appointed as special representative of the United Nations Secretary General and CEO of Solar Energy for All, which again is a UN agency. And then on to Mark Okoye. Mark Okoye is a commissioner for economic planning and project and I'm going to state today and he is said to be the youngest commissioner in the country. I've also had the privilege of meeting him at sub-committees of the National Economic Council and then you should have a great deal from his clarity of thought and his very keen mind. And also in the public service and this time in the diaspora is Matthew Ohtubu who we've already heard about, the Youth Councilor for the New Castle City Council in Scotland, a British Empire member is, and named just recently as the member of the most excellent order of the British Empire. In her majesty the Queen's, just this year in her majesty the Queen's Honour's List 2020. Then there is Omi Lola Okoye, the award-winning life and finance coach and the author of The Richer Woman. That book, The Richer Woman, is now translated into several languages and published in several different countries of the world. She is also the founder of the highly successful Do It Afraid entrepreneurial conference. And then to my learned colleague Donna O'Maraeke, a partner and a reputed law firm of a different from Cacheter Mountains, Apple and Shibu, she is an energy expert of international renown and a poet of oral and performed poetry. In many ways these young men and women demonstrate to us that the future is here and that the past is said to be gone. There is much more to career these days than the traditional areas of medicine, engineering, law and the like. And we live in a world that has come to reward a much broader range of skills and talents. So we have Amaka Osakwe, otherwise known as Maki O, excelling in high fashion, clothing the likes of the young singer and the handler. And I first heard of her a couple of years ago, when she was celebrated in the home magazine and also in the New York, as was Africa's most daring design. Her use of a direct in many collections was described in that publication as an intentional ploy to deploy the elements of culture and to redefine culture in fashion. She's showing us that you can also secure the back in fashion. And Damala Ladejobi is taking over the continent's nutrition and fitness space. She's the CEO of one of Africa's leading healthy lifestyle companies, Ask Dabes. And she's back and she is. And she's also, by the way, alive. While Ijeoma Balubu is redefining the PR market by sharing innovative energy, she's the founder and CEO of Redwick PR. She's an award-winning journalist and forms under 30 2019 honorary. We also have Shea Oplewe, Nigeria's one-time fastest man, whose athletics prowess and endeavours continue to make us all extremely proud. Each of these outstanding individuals is a product of the natural skills and solid foundations of years in a school environment that value their talents, celebrated their skills and shared them all. Atlantic Hall has every reason to be extremely proud of their outstanding achievements. You have done us proud to produce this best-in-class world-class results. Congratulations. Before I take my seat, permit me to throw a challenge to the board of trustees and all of us here. In August 2015, I paid my first official visit to my Nuguri Mono State to inspect some of our facilities there, the IDP camps, and some of the facilities for victims of the conflict in the Northeast. On that occasion, we counted over 49,245 young children who had lost their parents. Almost half of them were girls and some of them were just simply wandering around. That was only in parts of my Nuguri metropolis. There were thousands more. The tragedy of conflict and its outcomes in poverty and displacement is stark. Governments alone cannot handle it. There are international NGOs here and there, but the local private response is still very little. I mentioned a group of friends, and we agreed to establish the Northeast Children's Farm, chaired by Mr. G. Movie. The objective is to build learning centers, schools, and equip and handle traumatized children and give them world-class education and care. We built the Northeast Children's Farm, and built the first accommodation, the first of this school, accommodating over 1,500 children. And they've taken over yet another school, about 700, and are looking at the prospects of a bigger facility. The board invited Grange School to help in passing on some experience and knowledge about teacher and school experience, and they've done a very wonderful job. But that's quite their best efforts. And the best efforts of the Borno State Government, the former and present government, by the way, are outstanding public servants, and the state is certainly fortunate to have them. But so much more is left undone. So much more still needs to be done. There are still thousands, especially girls, in the past, and some women in the streets waiting for the second chance. There are only committed persons and organizations of conscience and offer. And so I urge them to join in that effort as soon as possible. I believe that the Atlantic Correlation of Trust is one that can also render help, especially to so many thousand young men and women in the Northeast and in several other parts of the country, but in particular in the Northeast. So Your Excellency and Ladies and Gentlemen, join me in congratulating all of your honorees, the Atlantic Corp, and also the Board of Trustees, the staff, the students and alumni of the Atlantic Corp. My prayer for this school of this university is that, as your days, so shall your career, so shall your wisdom, and so shall your favor with God in Jesus' name. Happy University!
