Some of the prison inmates praised Dame Edith Okowa for her contributions and called on other well-meaning Deltans and Nigerians to emulate her good gestures so as to make life better for the needy and downtrodden.

The service featured the introduction of various dignitaries, including Senator George Akume, Secretary to the Government of the Federation who represented President Bola Tinubu, Governor Sheriff Oborevwori, Governor Godwin Obaseki, and Former Governor Ifeanyi Okowa.
