Salem University lauds Archbishop Amaga’s contributions to human development
Salem University, Lokoja, Kogi State, has lauded Archbishop Sam Amaga’s numerous contributions to human capital development and described him as an inspirational leader with an uncommon record of achievements.
The university stated this in a goodwill message to Mt Amaga on the occasion of his 72nd birthday signed by its Vice Chancellor, Prof. Alewo Akubo.
Mr Akubo described the celebrant, who is the founding chancellor of the institution, as a true pathfinder and builder of men and institutions, impacting lives and Nigeria’s growth and development.
The VC said that the entire university community saluted the chancellor’s amazing and impactful years on earth, having put smiles on the faces of countless indigents across Nigeria and beyond.
He thanked God for giving Nigeria and particularly Kogi State such an illustrious and industrious son and father in the person of Mr Amaga.
He stated, “The great televangelist, prolific writer and foremost educationist, through the Sam Amaga Foundation, touched the lives of several orphans from different parts of Nigeria with scholarships, some of whom have graduated from the university and other institutions of higher learning. In fact, the founding chancellor has made significant contributions to the spiritual and educational growth and development of Nigeria, worth emulation by well-meaning Nigerians. The archbishop is indeed a trailblazer in many areas of life, particularly in ministry and human capital development, as demonstrated with the establishment of Salem University and his foundation.’’
Mr Akubo added that the celebrant bequeathed enduring legacies to the next generation of youthful and innovative leaders in line with the founding philosophy of Salem University, which is “Raising Global Leaders.”
According to him, as products of the Sam Amaga Mentoring School and beneficiaries of his benevolence, they will continue to remember and emulate him for the growth and development of the country.
He added, “This is why the management, staff and students of this great citadel of learning today join the church platform and well-wishers within and outside Nigeria in celebrating this true pathfinder and builder of men on the occasion of his 72nd anniversary. Our prayer is that the Lord God in Whom he serves and Whose he is will continue to sustain him in good health.’’
