The staff of Raw Materials Research and Development Council (RMRDC), Anambra State Coordinating Office, gathered to honour one of its own, Mr. Chinedu Obinna Ndukwe, Principal Executive Officer, as he bowed out of active service after years of dedicated and meritorious service to the Council and the nation.
The event, held at the RMRDC State Office in Awka, was filled with heartfelt expressions of gratitude and fond memories of Mr. Ndukwe’s contributions to the Council’s vision, mission and mandate. Colleagues, friends, and well-wishers described him as a committed professional administrator, known for his integrity, diligence, and deep understanding of the Council’s operational goals.

In a system filled with uncertainties, it is not an easy task to begin and end well.
