Igbinedion said he had followed the trajectory of the newspaper from its inception till date.”I am indeed grateful for deeming it fit in 2024 to honour me with the lifetime achievement award, I wholly accept the offer.” Earlier, Adekoya said the Vanguard group has monitored the trajectory of Chief Igbinedion in his numerous endeavours and how he pioneered investment in many areas.
He said “We have seen in Vanguard that there are not so many people like you, there are so many areas that you have invested in which you are a trailblazer.
“You are a man of culture and an upholder of traditional values of the Benin kingdom so it is not surprising that you are the Esama of the Great Benin Kingdom in all of that that Vanguard thought it wise to honour you in your lifetime and put your achievement in the record so that generations unborn will read of your achievements, see videos, and then continue to be encouraged that if I live my life the way Esama has lived, the sky will not be the limit but a stepping stone.
