“There are so many unfinished thing we have to do with prof, we were discussing how he was going to train our people , they are producing so machines for fish feeds, manufacturing for us, he has a number of them, he has shown me, those are meant to empower young people all those things are just memories now,
Is very sad he is the person who have shown our people way to go, we have a program on waste to wealth, to convert water proofs and plastic into some kind of raw materials , so you can imagine the expectation and help he would have given to young people there, they are all gone now.
is not just lost to the family is a fundamental loss to our people and to the things he could have done for the greater common good and for the common wealth of our people” he stated.
