What will be the legacy you wish to leave behind? It depends on who is remembering me. If you ask the rural woman who could not go to the hospital to deliver because she did not have money to go to the hospital, but now she is able to go to the hospital and have her baby without paying for it, she will tell you it is the free maternal healthcare. If you ask the man who stays in Asaba and has had to drive to Benin to take a flight to Lagos, but he is now able to fly from Asaba straight to Lagos, he will tell you he is remembering me because of the airport. And if you have taken advantage of our micro-credit scheme to start your own business, you will remember me for giving you the rare privilege of being your own boss and employing others. My philosophy is just to be able to touch the lives of each and every Deltan and whatever I want to be remembered for depends on the person you are talking to. -Gov Emmanuel Uduaghan of Delta State.
