It was an honour well deserved for Pharm. (Sir) Ifeanyi Atueyi, Pharmanews publisher, as the Full Gospel Business Men’s Fellowship International – Nigeria (FGBMFI) conferred on him an Award of Excellence, Dedication and Selfless Service, to mark his 80th birthday and appointment as National Director Emeritus of the group.
The award presentation held at The Redemption Camp, during the 2020 South West Regional Council Meeting of the FGBMFI, in Lagos, from 16-18 January, was the high point of the meeting, as it was the only award presented by the National President of FGBMFI, Arc.

Congratulating the Pharmanews boss on the special recognition for his commitment and selfless dedication to the course of the gospel and humanity, Odedo quoted from the Holy Writ in Proverbs 22 verse 29 saying “Seest thou a man diligent in his work, he shall stand before kings and not mere men.”
