Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara has praised cleric William Kumuyi for his vision in driving positive change and social impact in Nigeria.
Fubara, who was represented by the Rivers State Head of Civil Service Commission George Nweke, gave the commendation on Tuesday night during a six-day global conference organised by the Change Makers International (CMI) in Port Harcourt.
Kumuyi, the general superintendent of the Deeper Christian Life Ministry, is the conference’s convener.

“I will like to extend my heart felt gratitude to the organisers who have contributed to making this event possible, your dedication to fostering meaningful dialogue and partnerships is highly commendable.
“The theme for this conference resonates deeply, especially in a world that is continuously evolving and facing challenges that demands collective action.
“I invite us all to reflect on our roles as men in driving positive change, it is our responsibility to be catalysts for social impact. Leading by examples in or families, communities, work places and wherever we are,” he stated.
Fubara said that Rivers State recognised the part of men’s involvement in promoting progress, whether through community service, mentorship or advocating social change.
According to Fubara, when men take action, they inspire others and create a ripple effect of positive change globally.
“We have seen how men can lead initiatives that uplift communities, from fighting poverty, to enhancing education and health.
“It is these examples that we must emulate to create a more equitable and tolerable society. Let us embody the spirit of collaboration not unhealthy competition,” he said.
