LAGOS – The Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide has felicitated with Prince Dr. Arthur Eze on the occasion of his 76th birthday.
The Igbo socio-cultural organisation in a congratulatory message signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Dr. Chiedozie Alex Ogbonnia noted that the philanthropist has for over five decades demonstrated his commitment to the welfare of others.
The message read, “We join the numerous admirers both at home and in the Diaspora to felicitate one of the most cheerful givers, renowned engineer, global entrepreneur, philanthropist and soldier of Christ, Prince Dr Arthur Eze (Ozoigbondu) as he clocks 76 on Tuesday.
“Ozoigbondu has for over five decades demonstrated his commitment to the welfare of others. He has displayed an uncommon kindness and benevolence to all and sundry.
“He has sown love where hatred existed; hope, amidst despair; light, where there was darkness; joy where sadness prevailed; and prosperity, where poverty thrived.
“He has donated fabulously to the Church, schools, universities, hospitals, corporate bodies, Ohanaeze Ndigbo and to the governments. This is the Arthur Eze Legacy that will continue to resonate for the generations yet unborn.
“The Secretary General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, Ambassador Okey Emuchay, MFR couldn’t withhold his good wishes and excitement on your birthday. He remarked that in your track record of accomplishments, you have displayed empathy, selflessness, and milk of human kindness. You have cared for the poor, the widows, the dispossessed, oppressed and the downtrodden.
“It’s therefore the wish of Ohanaeze Ndigbo that you’ll remain as fit as a fiddle with sound mind for many more years to come. That the Almighty will continue to reward you for the invaluable services you have rendered to humanity at the various stages of your eventful life.
“On behalf of all the structures of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide and indeed the entire Igbo nation, accept our congratulations”
