Orom Nte Ereforiokuma, who was conferred with the chieftaincy title of ‘Eze Chituru’ by the paramount ruler of Woji Community in Obio/Akpor LGA, alongside two other recipients.
The royal father, Eze Emeka Ihunwo, charged the awardees to be good ambassadors of Woji kingdom, noting that the kingdom does not offer titles for sale, but rather gives to deserving persons who have contributed immensely to its development.
The monarch further said that non-indigenes dwelling in Woji, including foreigners have in the past been recognised for their selfless services to the community.
