The CEO Sagesse De Dieu Ltd, popularly known as celebrity carpenter Mr. Moses Amiebenomo has dedicated his award as Silent Hero in Business and Enterprise to his father, Barrister Idris Amiebenomo.
The award organised SHA was to honour distinguished Nigerians in business and industry, politics, education, hospitality, entertainment, banking, governance, security, media, maritime and others.
He received his award at a colourful ceremony which took place at Cabana A Hall, The Wells Carlton Hotel, No. 8 Gado Nasko Close, Asokoro Abuja.

He was the first to establish the first college of traditional carpentry in Africa. He has also mentored so many young persons at no cost, especially those with passion for the job but lack financial capacity.
He is a serial entrepreneur and business merchant who has done quality jobs for government agencies and notable private organizations.

Others honoured at the sixth edition of Silent Heroes Award include, Vice Admiral Emmanuel Ogalla, Chief of the Naval Staff; RT. Hon Sheriff F.O. Oborevwori, Governor of Delta State; Ned Nwoko Senator representing Delta North, Prof. Leroy Chuma Edozien, Ubili Ka Nkwu Ahaba; IGP Kayode Egbetokun; and Pastor Ikechukwu Edmund Ezeobi.
The initiative was conceived by the founder, Odita Sunday-Udemaguna, an influential journalist and humanitarian who noted that “In our larger society, there are men and women who are silently working assiduously behind the scenes to oil our nation’s wheel of progress.
“These people are SILENT HEROES in their own right but have largely remained unsung and under-celebrated. Believe it or not, they are the reason our nation has made the modest progress recorded in different spheres in contemporary times.”
