The Guild of St. Anthony of Padua Honour to our Grand Respected President, Lady Teresa Barong Akugbo, JP
On Sunday, 16th August 2026, Lagos witnessed the honor bestowed on a truly remarkable woman.
With immense joy and pride, we celebrate our very own Grand Respected President,Port Harcourt Grand Ladies Auxiliary, Lady Teresa Barong Akugbo, JP, who was honoured today at St. Dominic Catholic Church, Yaba, Lagos, by the Guild of St. Anthony of Padua, Lagos, Nigeria.
This is, indeed, a well-deserved award for a woman whose life of service speaks louder than words.
Our Grand Respected President is a woman of deep humility, exceptional intelligence, sound judgment and God-given wisdom. She does not need to make noise about what she does. She simply gets to work, serves with sincerity, and leaves behind an impact that cannot be ignored.
That is her strength.
She leads quietly, but effectively.
She serves humbly, but profoundly.
She speaks with wisdom, but her actions speak even louder.
As the current Head of the Guild of St. Anthony of Padua in Nigeria, her commitment to service and her contribution to the growth of the Guild continue to make us proud.
To us in the Port Harcourt Grand Ladies Auxiliary of the Knights of St. John International, she is more than a leader. She is our woman of substance, our own “MAMA”, a woman who carries herself with grace, vision, intelligence and uncommon humility, while making a remarkable difference wherever she serves.
Congratulations, our dear Grand Respected President!
