“His Excellency ascetic life style and personal integrity has percolated the Nigerian public space. In words and in deed, he teaches and model.

Ekwueme, at 62, remain an exemplar in humility and industry and I pray God to grant him many more years in active service to humanity,” Tidi said.
Tidi, described the recent report by National Bureau of Statistics, NBS, which revealed that Delta State economy grew by 51 percent in six years, with her Gross Domestic Product, GDP rising to N4. 471 trillion in 2019 from N2. 961 trillion in 2015, vis-a-vis the corresponding increase in the fortunes of non-oil sector, as eloquent testimony of Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa’s, “excellent and strategic leadership qualities.”
