Igbokwe emphasized that the honorary degree is not only a personal accolade but also an invitation to deepen his commitment to peacebuilding and global collaboration. “I’ve always believed that the greatest form of leadership is that which uplifts the community, fosters dialogue, and seeks cooperative solutions to challenges that affect all of humanity. This recognition serves as a reminder of the greater responsibility we all bear to influence positive change and unite people across nations and cultures.”
