Governor of Abia State, Alex Otti has commended the founder Vision Africa for his initiative towards harnessing the talent of young people for national development.
The governor stated this on Sunday during the 2023 and 10th edition grand finale of Vision Africa Icons music reality show which was won by an SS3 student of Queen of Peace Secondary school Mbano Imo state, Mary Joseph
The governor represented by his Chief of staff, Pastor Caleb Ajagba said it takes a man of Vision to do what Bishop Sunday Onuoha is doing.
With the theme “let there be peace” the grand finale held at Michael Okpara Auditorium Umuahia.
Otti while commending the organisers of the competition said he would not mind any distraction but to deliver to Abians.
The special guest at the event and member representing Isukwuato Umunneochi federal constituency, Amobi Ọgah described the theme as powerful and called on Abians to join hands because God has started it by giving Abia Dr Alex Otti who is a man of peace.
He appreciated the Chief of staff to the Governor, Pastor Caleb Ajagba and special adviser to the Governor on trade commerce and industry Chief Nwaka Inem.
The federal lawmaker thanked Bishop Onuoha for the Icons, saying that such magnitude of events are being enjoyed in Lagos and Portharcourt.
The president of Vision Africa International, Bishop Sunday Onuoha said the theme was chosen because when there is peace, there will be development, fellowship, and investors will come.
Onuoha who harped on quality character building, said he believes that whatever one is doing without character is bankruptcy.
According to him, the peace being witnessed in Abia should be promoted collectively.
Chairman of the occasion, and Abia State Chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, Reverend Ojo Ojo Uduma appreciated Vision Africa for promoting peace and urged all to join the Organisation to push peace further in the State.
While contestant number 10, Ngwakwe Victor came second, Aso Chidinma took third position.
