The Chief Executive Officer of Sagesse De Dieu Ltd, popularly known as the Celebrity Carpenter, Mr. Moses Amiebenomo, has been turbaned with the traditional title of Garkuwan Matasa of Fillin-Dabo Dei-dei in the FCT by the Emir of Jiwa Kingdom and the Resident Traditional Ruler/Chief of Fillin-Dabo, Chief Pada Muhammad Sani.

The event took place on Tuesday, October 8, 2024, which coincided with his birthday.

The induction was held in Abuja amidst excitement from parents, who expressed happiness at enrolling their children and wards into the academy. This Traditional Carpentry Programme has a duration of five years and is designed for teenagers between the ages of 16 and 19.

According to AbujaPress, the recipients of his generosity were filled with excitement and gratitude, praying for God’s blessings and protection upon him.
