At the end of the programme, the school's faculty of law honoured the former governor for his diligence and punctuality.
An official who presented Amaechi with the award said in the video:
“Thank you so much for being a model.”
Amaechi's track record of punctuality
Responding to the recognition, the former governor explained that his penchant for punctuality dates back to his days at the University of Port Harcourt where he received a Bachelor of Arts degree (Honours) in English Studies and Literature.
He said:
“There's a number of classes you have to attend before you can write exams at the University of Port Harcourt.”
He noted that since he was at Baze University to seek knowledge, he knew that he needed to dedicate time too.
Speaking further on his track record of punctuality, he cited an instance where he was told to stop coming to a ministry earlier than the minister-in-charge.
His words:
“There's a colleague of mine - a minister. She will fix an appointment and tell me to come by 10 but she won't be in the office until 11. I was always there before 10 and was waiting for her. I did it three times until they begged me and said: 'Don't come until she comes.'”
The former governor of Rivers state also hinted that he would go a step further by going to Law School to be called to bar.
