A Global Recognition of Integrity and Exemplary Leadership

I warmly congratulate my very dear sister, Dr Obiageli “Oby” Ezekwesili, on her well-deserved recognition with the International Anti-Corruption Excellence Lifetime Achievement Award, presented to her in Doha.

This prestigious honour is a powerful global endorsement of the enduring value of integrity and principled leadership. It affirms that competence, character, and unwavering commitment to the public good still command respect on the world stage. For decades, Dr Ezekwesili has been a resolute advocate for transparency, accountability, and institutional reform - often at significant personal sacrifice - yet she has never faltered in her belief that public power must always be exercised in service of the people.

Her life’s work testifies to the leadership Nigeria is capable of offering the world when excellence is placed above expediency. She remains, consistently and unmistakably, a beacon of ethical leadership and a source of pride for our nation and the African continent.

I wish her continued strength, sound health, and even greater impact as she continues to project the ideals of integrity, service, and excellence for Nigeria and Africa on the global stage.

Congratulations to a quintessential Dr @obyezeks. -PO
