GOV. OKEZIE IKPEAZỤ AND HIS NAME


COMING IN LAST LIKE HIS NAME SUGGESTS: GOV IKPEAZU’s REPORT CARD (2015-2023)

While it's true that names can sometimes carry certain connotations or be subject to individual interpretations, it's important to remember that they may in larger extent determine our destinies or define our capabilities. But, success in life is not solely determined by our names, but by our actions, decisions, and perseverance.

Changing one's name may be a choice for various reasons, majorly when it is a factor to your success, but it's crucial to understand that true success comes from within, irrespective of what name we bear. It's about honing our skills, seizing opportunities, and staying determined and focused on our goals...
