Professor Selwyn Cudjoe yesterday thumbed his nose at his detractors after accepting the Order of the Republic of T&T (ORTT), even as he thanked Prime Minister Kamla Persad Bissessar for insisting the highest national award be conferred on him.
Expressing surprise that citizens could suggest he was not worthy of the honour, it was a beaming Cudjoe who said, “I was very thankful for the Prime Minister to have insisted that this be awarded. And for that, I’m very thankful. It’s really a culmination of a long career, so that feels good.”
