She noted that the honour further highlights the valuable contributions Nigerians continue to make in various fields and communities around the world.

Dabiri-Erewa encouraged Orojuogun to regard the recognition as an inspiration to continue using her platform positively.

She assured Nigerians in the diaspora that their achievements and contributions remain a source of pride to the nation.
