Dame Patience Jonathan gets Honorary Doctorate degree

Dame Patience Jonathan, First Lady of Nigeria has been honoured with a doctorate degree by Hansei University, South Korea in recognition of her immense contribution and commitment to numerous humanitarian projects.

According to Sung-Hae Kim, President and Chancellor of the awarding institution, "She's a humanitarian who has dedicated her life to working for the less privileged in Nigeria and Africa especially for women and children. Her vision as the defender of the poor in Nigeria fits into Hansei University's motto of a practising Christian. Now she's part of our community.”

"I was surprised that she travelled here for the Church Growth International co"nference year back to pray for Nigeria," Yonggi Cho, Co-founder, Hansei University added.

Reacting to the honour, Dame Patience said "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. My grandma used to say, whatever little you have, share; if you have a thousand and you can't share, you won't share a million if you have."

It is her fourth doctorate degree.
