Dear Mrs Eno Ekong,

Retirement is an exciting phase of life, after you have worked hard to build your career, and would now sit back and appreciate how far you have come.

Not only is it a time for reflection, but also a time for you to look forward to spending good time with people you care about, and doing things you love to do.

I was most pleased to have worked with you at Akwa Ibom State NYSC camp, during the 2017 Batch 'B' Orientation Course as a Guiness Brand Ambassador, when Guiness Nigeria sponsored some of the camp activities; and since then, I've been learning so much from your online English lessons on WhatsApp and Facebook. I'm no longer afraid to commit grammatical errors because I know you will never be tired of correcting me.

I hope that your retirement opens new avenues for an enthusiastic, lively, loving, strong, committed and disciplined person like you.

You are only retired, Ma, but I know you are not tired. As such, retirement is not the end of the journey but the beginning of a beautiful new voyage for you. God saw you through that whole phase and is still there for you.

Hearty congratulations, Mummy! When I retire, I would love to be just like you: happy, strong, promising and amazing!

Mr Edet Edem Akpan
Guiness Brand Ambassador.
