Speaking earlier, Mr Umekwe thanked the Speaker for his support over the years.
He said his life was transformed after the Speaker gifted him a brand new Hummer bus years ago with which he started the Ochendo Mobile which has now grown into a household transport company in the state.
He said that after receiving the bus, he vowed that he was going to use it responsibly for transportation business and grow it into a bigger company which today has several other vehicles including trucks in its fleet, hence, he started by driving the new hummer bus himself in order to be fully accountable for its use.
