Ozo Nweke urged the scholarship recipients to be diligent, maintain high moral standards, and steer clear of negative influences such as cultism. He shared valuable advice, stating, "Any wealthy person or accomplished person you see passed through challenges and made sacrifices to be where he or she is.
