CALABAR — The Postgraduate Students Association has honoured Engr. Dr. George Ndifon Abang in recognition of his outstanding contributions to the growth and development of the union as well as his broader support for education and youth empowerment.
At a brief but colourful ceremony, the association described Dr. Abang as a "pillar of support and inspiration" whose interventions have consistently uplifted students across different levels of study. Presenting the award, the association's leadership commended him for his selfless approach to service, citing his sponsorship of educational initiatives, including the provision of WAEC registration forms and empowerment programmes for indigent students in Etung Local Government Area.
Responding, Dr. Abang expressed gratitude for the recognition, stressing that investing in education remains central to community development and national growth. "This honour reinforces my belief that the true wealth of a society lies in the knowledge and opportunities we pass on to the younger generation," he said.
Friends, family members and colleagues who attended the event lauded the association's choice, noting that Abang's blend of professional expertise as a civil engineer and management scholar with grassroots philanthropy makes him a role model for emerging leaders.
Dr. Abang, who holds degrees in Agricultural Economics, Civil Engineering, and a PhD in Business Management, is also the initiator of the Abon Abang Foundation, through which he has championed scholarships, empowerment programmes, and sustainable community development projects.
