Speaking on behalf of the association, Mr. Patrick Ilodi expressed gratitude to God for making the visitation a success.
“I am filled with joy being here today to celebrate with one of our amiable and most dogged teachers in CMF, an Igbo adage has it that when a mother trains a child to be responsible adult, it is expected that the child in return trains the mother and that is why we are here to thank God and also thank her for her motherly love and care during our secondary school old days.
Responding, Mrs. Emejulu said she was short of words as she never expected the huge show of love.
“Today I am 54, in everything I give thanks to God.
