NISS honours O.B Lulu-Briggs Foundation
The National Institute of Security Studies has honoured the O.B Lulu- Briggs Foundation with an award for exceptional contribution to nation building.
Receiving the award on behalf of the foundation on Friday in Abuja, The Chairman, Board of Trustees of the Foundation, Dr Seinye O.B Lulu-Briggs, said it was a long and enduring tradition of her family to associate with and support security agencies.
A statement by her spokesman, Mr Oraye St Franklyn, quoted Seinye Lulu-Briggs saying, “That tradition finds its roots in the philosophy of our patriarch, statesman and nationalist, my dearly beloved husband of blessed memory, High Chief, Dr. O.B Lulu-Briggs.
“He believed that those who sacrificed their time and lives in the care and protection of others, tower higher on the scale of honour in the society and therefore deserve more support for their exceptional sacrifices”.
Represented by Mrs Valerie Young-Harry, Mrs Lulu-Briggs said her family’s tradition was the reason for her sponsorship for the construction of the Entrance Pavillon of the NISS, which the BOT of the foundation approved.
