Thank you all
Aghogho Ojakire posted about it on his LinkedIn page. She replied:
"Awwwww, thank you so much. I am humbled and eternally grateful."
A further look online brought up a US Navy page that confirms that she was promoted alongside several others.
Nigeria is proud of you
Many Nigerians took to the platform to celebrate her. Legit.ng compiled some of the reactions below:
Tola (Bhadmus) Arowa said:
"Congratulations ma'am. It's heartwarming to see you shattering ceilings and redefining standards. On the flip side, it breaks my heart that your country failed to recognise the gem in you and provide you the same conducive platform. This would have been a win for the Nation Nigeria. It's not your fault, it's our loss! Cheers to bigger wins ma'am!"
Njideka Anyanwu said:
"Very brilliant officer..very proud of her. She was my schoolmate in university of Port Harcourt where she also excelled in her undergraduate studies. Her son is also in the force with her. Keep pushing Hetty."
Andy Joseph Nwabudike said:
"Yeah, you are right Ojarikre, she is going places and celebrating her is not enough. Thanks my dear for this elevation."
Pamela Udoka said:
"Congratulations! We are proud of you."
