In a congratulatory letter dated May 20, 2026, the monarch described the achievement as a reflection of Uzochukwu’s dedication to continuous learning and capacity development at some of the world’s leading academic institutions.
The traditional ruler noted that the accomplishment underscored the businessman’s passion for acquiring knowledge capable of addressing societal challenges and improving the wellbeing of ordinary citizens.
