According to Oladojo, the award recognizes Speaker Guwor’s strong dedication to quality education and the well-being of students both in Delta State and across the country. He encouraged the Speaker to continue his efforts, saying the honour was not only a show of appreciation but also a motivation to keep pushing for better educational outcomes. “This award celebrates your resilience and steadfast support for students, and it also marks a step forward in strengthening our shared commitment to improving education in Nigeria,” Oladojo stated.
