Princess Chinwe Nnabuife, representing Orumba North/South of Anambra State at the Federal House of Representatives has felicitated Sir Emeka Offor on his recent recognition and award by Vanguard Newspaper.
This prestigious honour is a testament to Offor’s unwavering commitment to philanthropy, nation-building, and empowering countless lives across Nigeria and beyond.
Offor’s legacy of service, integrity, and compassion continues to inspire leaders and citizens alike. His philanthropic efforts have made a significant impact, particularly in education.

Additionally, his foundation has partnered with global organizations to promote human capacity development and economic empowerment in Nigeria.
The Minister of Education, Prof Tahir Mamman, praised Offor’s contributions, stating that his efforts are an excellent example of well-used resources. Mamman encouraged others to emulate Offor’s philanthropic work, emphasizing that the government alone cannot finance education in Nigeria ².
