Mrs. Nwobodo, former Enugu Chief of Staff, received the award during the special convocation ceremony of the African Centre of the University in Enugu, which was graced by some personalities in the state such as the member representing Enugu East/Isi-Uzo Federal Constituency, Hon. Prince Cornelius Nnaji, State Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Hon. Augustine Nnamani and the Chairman of Nkanu East Local Government Area, Engr. Uchenna Abel Nwobodo.

Speaking after receiving the award, Mrs. Nwobodo, who expressed gratitude to Charisma University for recognizing her contribution while in government, attributed her success to God and sound education.
“It is interesting that you have accessed my contribution in service and found it worthy of this award and recognition. It is indeed interesting that I am honoured in an area where I got into by divine providence rather than the private sector where I worked for a long time.
“I am confident to say that one thing that has helped me is the quality of education that I was able to get. That is why I’m congratulating Charisma University and my co-graduands today. Let this be the springboard for us. As much as we can, we shouldn’t get tired of studying and acquiring more knowledge,” Mrs. Nwobodo, who served in the administration of former Governor Sullivan Chime, said.
Earlier in his speech, the Coordinator, African Centre of the institution, Prof. Chris Ifeanyi Onodugo, said that a total of 92 graduands received first degrees and higher degrees from different disciplines.
