The statement read in parts: “Today, it was a pleasure that my younger brother, who is like my first son, Dr. Moses Oruaze Dickson, officially presented his PhD. degree to me.

“I congratulated him on behalf of our family and said that while the event may look ordinary to most people, it is significant for two reasons: firstly, he is the first PhD. holder in our family, and secondly, for me, it is fulfilling because he, like a son, has done what his father would have loved to do but could not.

“So, in a way, he has done it on my behalf. I congratulated him and reminded him what I have always told him for years, that he should go to the depth of the sea and fish; that he should learn to fish in deep waters, and not to be fishing with the crowd in shallow waters looking for small fishes and crayfish.

“With this Ph.D, he should go out to the world and conquer in the field of Academics and Legal practice. I expect him to use this as a stepping stone to become a Professor in no distant time, or a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), both of which he is capable of.

“I congratulate him and wish him God’s guidance and blessings in his endeavours. I hope that he continues to uphold the family ideals of hard work, honour, courage and service. I congratulate him and his family.
