Madam Patience Jonathan on Thursday
October 10th received her fourth Honorary Doctorate degree since she became
Nigeria's First Lady. She got her latest honorary degree from the Hansei
University in South Korean
The university said they honoured the first lady because she had worked 'hard for many good causes'.
“She’s a humanitarian who has
dedicated her life to working for the less privileged in Nigeria and Africa
especially for women and children. Her vision as the defender of the poor in
Nigeria fits into Hansei University’s motto of a practising Christian. Now
she’s part of our community." The university chancellor Sung-Hae Kim, said
"I was surprised that she
travelled here for the Church Growth International conference years back to
pray for Nigeria. For her selfless work, Hansei University confers this degree
on her,” Yonggi Cho, co-founder of the Hansei University, said
“I was just doing my own thing not knowing that in far away
Asia everything was being noted. I want to assure you all that with God’s help
I will do more. My grandma used to say: `Whatever little you have, share; If
you have a thousand and you can’t share, you won’t share a million if you
have’.” Mrs. Jonathan said, thanking the Koreans.
It was reported by the News Agency of Nigeria that the ceremony was attended by wives of the governors of Benue and Ebonyi, wives of the Chief of Army Staff and the Chief of Naval Staff, among other dignitaries.
