The two scholars successfully passed rigorous departmental and faculty-level examinations, with the internal and external examiners certifying that they had met the academic requirements for the award of Doctor of Philosophy degrees.
In a congratulatory message, Ashakah described the academic feat as evidence of discipline, intellectual commitment and the determination to pursue excellence despite demanding professional responsibilities.
He particularly commended Pondi and Anoka for successfully combining their respective public and professional responsibilities with advanced academic studies.
According to him, Pondi’s responsibilities as Managing Director of Tantita Security Services and Anoka’s duties as a member of the Delta State Executive Council make their academic accomplishment even more significant.
Ashakah said their achievement should serve as encouragement to young professionals who may believe that career responsibilities constitute a barrier to further education.
He noted that continuous learning should remain an important component of personal and professional development, regardless of age or position.
The APC candidate said the latest academic milestone achieved by Pondi and Anoka would contribute to promoting intellectual development and strengthening the human capital required for societal advancement.
He congratulated the duo on their successful thesis defence and wished them continued success in their academic, professional and public service endeavours.
