At a colourful ceremony on Saturday night, April 25, 2015 at the Eko Hotel and Suites, Lagos, the governor was honoured for his use of ICT to tackle insecurity in Anambra State which has opened the state up for local and foreign investments by using Drone Technology for mapping purposes against crime and use of ICT in education, media etc.
The citation also praised the governor for his commitment in changing the fortunes of the Anambra Broadcasting Service (ABS) by financially supporting the ongoing transition of the station from analogue to digital broadcasting, one of the few state owned broadcasting organisations in Nigeria to have to have done so.
