Abbas, while commending the Western Delta University for honouring the emir, said the honour would encourage him to further unite Nigerians across ethnic and religious lines.

He noted that the honour being bestowed on the emir signified reward for patriotism and good leadership as well as pursuit of peace and unity in the country.
