The congratulatory message was conveyed by Senior Joseph MacIver, who, on behalf of the entire MacIver family, described the academic achievement as a remarkable milestone worthy of celebration.

Senior Joseph MacIver, aka Mayor 1, commended Dr. Joshua MacIver for his dedication, hard work, intellectual capacity and commitment to academic excellence, noting that despite his myriad of responsibilities and status in society, Dr. MacIver demonstrated remarkable humility and a strong commitment to personal development by returning to the classroom to build more capacity to serve mankind.

This is truly deserving of commendation, and the entire MacIver family is proud of you,” he said.
Senior MacIver further described Dr. Joshua MacIver’s achievement as an inspiration to others, emphasising that the pursuit of knowledge and continuous self-development should never be abandoned, regardless of one’s status or position in society.
