for the less privileged in Nigeria and Africa

fits into Hansei University’s motto of a practising
Christian.Now she’s part of our community,” Prof.
Kim added. The university also said it chose her for
the degree because of her dedication to prayer. ”I

degree on her,”Yonggi Cho, co-founder of the
Hansei University. “I was just doing my own thing
not knowing that in far away Asia everything was
being noted. I want to assure you all that with
God’s help I will do more,” Mrs. Jonathan said,

`Whatever little you have, share; If you have a
thousand and you can’t share, you won’t share a
million if you have’.

ceremony was attended by wives of the governors
of Benue and Ebonyi, wives of the Chief of Army
