For you to receive conferment from your own sisters and mothers means very much to me and I sincerely   thank you for this wonderful award and I believe that God will also honour you, you will receive honour not only from men, you will receive honour from God  Almighty”.


Also speaking the former Deputy Governor of the State, Sir Gabriel Toby who congratulated Dr. Banigo for her service to God and humanity thanked the Mothers Union of St. Cyprian’s Church for the honour bestowed on Dr. Mrs Ipalibo Harry Banigo.
