High Chief Emma Ojukwu (Agbaigwe Alor), the President General of Alor community in Idemili South Local Government Area (ISLGA), Anambra State, has handed over the 36 stalls he constructed at Nkwor Alor market in memory of his late mother, Late Mrs. Roseline Ojukwu, to 36 beneficiaries from the community.
High Chief Ojukwu, a renowned philanthropist and advocate of Governor Chukwuma Soludo's "Think Home" philosophy, also provided significant amounts of money to empower the 36 beneficiaries to start their respective retail businesses.
During the event, Hon. Mrs. Amaka Obi (Iyom Ifeabata Idemili), the Chairman of ISLGA, commended the PG for his numerous projects and efforts in human capital development for the people of Alor community, including the construction of 36 stalls in memory of his late mother, Mrs. Roseline Ojukwu.
Mrs. Obi recognized High Chief Emma Ojukwu's positive contributions to Alor community since he assumed leadership and urged the people of Alor, as well as other Presidents General and distinguished individuals from various communities in Idemili South, to emulate his generous spirit and invest in their people and communities since the government cannot solely address all their needs.
The Vicar of St. Paul's Anglican Church, Alor, Ven. Chiedu Nnakwuo, and the Parish priest of St. Mary's Catholic Church Alor, both described High Chief Emma Ojukwu as a kind-hearted man who consistently supports men, women, and youths in Alor community. They emphasized that, given the current state of the country, he has not only impacted lives but also offered hope to the less fortunate. They offered prayers for God to grant him all his good wishes, including long life and prosperity.
In their individual speeches, the Alor Women PG, Lady Ifeoma Uzokwe, and the Immediate past Women PG, Lady Grace Uche Nwoye, praised High Chief Emma Ojukwu's philanthropic activities, which date back to the time before he held the position of Town Union leader. They mentioned that Alor women had honored him several years ago as one of the ten prestigious Alor Women Ambassadors.
Dignitaries in attendance included various Alor Stakeholders, Alor Town Union executives, Women and Youth leaders, and ISLGA councillors.
