Newly conferred PhD holder, Ambassador Dr. Nendi Ruth Fidelis, has reaffirmed her lifelong mission to expand her humanitarian impact as she celebrated her graduation with a Doctorate in Forensic Traditional and Natural Medicine. The ceremony, held on Saturday at Believers Overflow Ministry in Jos, was organised by the Pathfinder Theological Seminary Nigeria in collaboration with Erudite University, Jos, an affiliate of the American Heritage University of Southern California.
Speaking shortly after receiving her doctorate degree, Dr. Nendi said her greatest motivation is ensuring that all her achievements bring glory to God while enabling her to reach and support more people in need.
“My goal is to touch more lives than ever before,” she said. “As the CEO of Nanruka Nigerian Ltd., a Chinese therapy centre, I have been meeting people from all walks of life—the rich, the poor, and the poorest. With this PhD, I am committed to doing even better than what I used to do.”
Dr. Nendi, who also serves as Plateau State Chairperson of No Woman, No Nation and Nigerian President of the African women’s leadership network RESAFEL, emphasized the growing humanitarian needs across Nigeria. She noted that many persons require help and urged well-meaning individuals to support vulnerable communities.
“There are a lot of lives out there that need to be touched,” she added. “With the current situation in the country, people need help and support more than ever. I appeal to others to join hands in uplifting our fellow human beings.”
Her latest academic milestone comes on the heels of numerous recognitions, including her conferment as an Eminent Peace Ambassador by the International Association of World Peace Advocates (IAWPA) for her contributions to peacebuilding and philanthropy.
The event also featured a keynote lecture by Prof. Sunday Olawuyi, who spoke on Boosting Social Entrepreneurship and Social Enterprise Development for Wealth Creation, stressing the role of innovative business models in addressing Nigeria’s socio-economic challenges.
For Dr. Nendi, the doctorate is not an endpoint but a renewed call to service—one she says she is determined to answer with even greater passion and commitment.
