Anioma shines with pride once again in United Kingdom as one of the illustrious sons of Ibusa receives a National recognition and Award by the Higher Education Academy.
Dr. Vincent Nwayobuije Icheku has been awarded the “Senior Fellow of Higher Education” honour for his contribution to UK Higher (University) Education and reaching worldwide audience with his work.
Dr. Icheku hails from Umuwagwu village in Ibusa, Oshimili North Local Government area of Delta State and is currently a Senior Lecturer at the London South Bank University.
Vincent and I have been friends since 1983, when I met him at an ICDU meeting. Over the years, he has been bringing honours to Ibusa community in particular and Nigeria in general through his commitment to education and scholarly activities. He recently developed a framework for ethically analysis that was hailed by UK Higher Education Academy as innovative teaching and learning tool. Evidence abounds in literature, which shows that the framework enjoys world wide acceptance.
Dr. Icheku is a superb motivator and one of the most supportive persons, I have ever met. It was a great personal pride for me when the Ibusa Community Development Union (ICDU) UK and Ireland honoured him with an award for academic excellence in 2008 during my tenure as the President of the Union.
I join his family and well-wishers in celebrating yet another milestone achievement in his life. I also join them in thanking God for his gift of knowledge, love and kindness. I wish him more grease to his elbows!
