Hon Okolie, who was the past President of the Rotary Club of Asaba Government House, 2012/2013 Rotary year, received the award at the weekend during the installation and award ceremony of the 3rd President of the Club, which took place at Nelrose Hotel, Asaba.
In his remarks on the occasion, the President of Rotary Club of Issele Azagba Uptown, Rtn Prince Philip Igwenwanne, said the awardee had distinguished himself in vocational service, especially in developing young leaders and introducing skill acquisition programs for senior secondary school students in Great-Favour Montessori School, Issele-Azagba.
Rtn Igwenwanne noted that Hon Okolie, who is currently the Executive Secretary of the Delta Association of Chambers of Commerce, Industry, Mines and Agriculture (DACCIMA), was passionate about entrepreneurship development among young leaders in order to make them self reliant in this era of rising unemployment in the country.
