Award for deserving Obuh
Flying Eagles coach John Obuh has promised to do more after he
was conferred with a special award by Abia State on Monday in Umuahia.
“This is a sure sign of better things to come,” vowed Obuh after he was honoured among 21 distinguished personalities from Abia State to mark the 21st year of the creation of the eastern Nigerian state.
“I am greatly elated to be recognised by my people and I will continue to do my very best in all my endeavours to get this form of recognition.”
He added: “No doubt, I believe that this recognition comes with its challenges and I believe that God will give me all the strength that I will use to excel.
“This award really means a lot to me and all my family members and words alone can’t describe how I feel. I am indeed very grateful to the government and good people of Abia for this award.”
The conferment of the ‘Oke-Oji Abia’ on the 52-year-old Obuh was staged at the Michael Okpara Auditorium in Umuahia.
Abia State Governor T.A Orji was represented at the occasion by his deputy, Emeka Ananaba, as well as several top government functionaries.
Obuh has been flying high the flag of Abia State as a top-notch coach, who among several other accomplishments led Nigeria to win the 2011 African Youth Championship.
