Owelle Odumegwu was honoured at the ceremony initiated by SHA Initiative, a non-governmental organisation.
It is in appreciation of his kindness towards fellow individuals, families, community and environment and his silent heroic service to fatherland.
The initiative was conceived by the founder, Odita Sunday-Udemaguna, an influential journalist and humanitarian who noted that “In our larger society, there are men and women who are silently working assiduously behind the scenes to oil our nation’s wheel of progress.
“These people are SILENT HEROES in their own right but have largely remained unsung and under-celebrated. Believe it or not, they are the reason our nation has made the modest progress recorded in different spheres in contemporary times.”
Others honoured include, Minister of state for Defence, Dr. Bello Muhammed Matawalle, MON as Silent Hero in Governance; Alhaji Jibrin Baba Nadace, Director General, Voice of Nigeria as Silent Hero in Journalism; Dr. Awele Elumelu, CEO Avon Medical Practice as Silent Hero in Medicine, Mr. Dozy Mmobuosi CEO, Tingo Inc. as Silent Hero in Fintech & Agro Development in Africa and more.
