The movers and shakers of corporate Nigeria, global economy and the academia yesterday showered encomiums on the Founder of the defunct Diamond Bank, late Dr. Paschal Gabriel Dozie (PGD) as a beacon of purpose, excellence and unwavering faith.
Speaking virtually at the “Night of Tribute” in honour of Dozie, the Director General of World Trade Organisation (WT0), Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, said that Dozie would be remembered all over Nigeria for his genius in starting an enduring financial institution, the Diamond Bank that made his name.
Okonjo-Iweala said: “He was a quietly persistent character and I think that everyone will remember him for that. He spoke passionately about events and spoke out in the way that matters to him about the way our country is ran. “I will remember him very fondly. We will remember him forever in our hearts. May his soul rest in peace!”
