In an august gathering with the presence of no fewer than four state governors, deputy governors, high-ranking government officials, top captains of industry, as well as entrepreneurial giants., which was marked by an aura of significance and importance, and serving as a confluence of political, administrative, and corporate luminaries, who gathered at the instance of the board, management and staff of the New Telegraph Publishing Company Ltd, the publishers of Daily Telegraph newspapers, for her 2023 Award ceremony.
It was an epoch at the Belmoral Convention Centre, Federal Palace Hotel, Victoria Island, Lagos, as Dr. Mathew Chima Amadi, alongside other eminent and distinguished Nigerians received the prestigious New Telegraph's Social Crusader of the Year award. The award really stands as a testament to his exceptional contributions to society.
The Umuekwunne, Ngor Okpala born social entrepreneur and trained human nutritionist, has carved a niche for himself as a seasoned administrator and accomplished technocrat. With a diverse academic background and exceptional professional experience, Dr. Amadi has made significant contributions to various sectors of the economy, hence this prestigious accolade not only acknowledges his individual accomplishments but also highlights the importance of his role in championing social causes that resonate on a national scale.
Amadi's recognition alongside governors Babajide Sanwo-Olu, Senator Douye Diri, Muhammadu Yahaya, Peter Mbah of Lagos, Bayelsa, Gombe, Enugu, and Bauchi states respectively underscores the breadth of his influence and the universal impact of his initiatives.
As a Social Crusader of the Year, Dr. Amadi's accomplishments extend beyond regional boundaries. His influence has clearly manifested not only in Ngor Okpala but also in the broader Nigerian landscape.
To this effect, Amadi, as a social crusader fights for public good even as he promotes social services that give lifewire to the poor. This has remarkably made him the cynosure of all eyes and ultimately uplift him to his current recognition by one of the fastest growing national newspapers.
A man of decency, Amadi's biggest assess is his highly developed mind which has enabled him to be cherished by the public as a disciplined personality with character, competence and courage.
Ever meticulous and ingenious, Amadi does not flaunt accomplishments like a bill board. Instead, he joins forces with other fellow professionals for the purposes of "uplifting the living standards of the people".
For this singular reason, Amadi works to strengthen dialogue, discourse. He fundamentally promotes constitutionality and constitutionalism rather than toeing the path of infamy called illegality.
Therefore, this award by The New Telegraph Newspaper essentially dramatizes Amadi's true identity as an epitome of a man with the Midas Touch whose goal is to make living a meaningful venture through social crusades and enlightenments.
