Inaugurating the Town Unions, Eze Njemanze charged them to be dedicated, committed, resolute and result oriented in the discharge of their duties, warning against any act capable of dragging government and the community’s image to the mud.
According to Eze Njemanze, the new leadership were selected after thorough checks on their past records, expressing optimism that Amawom community would be taken to an enviable height under them.
He charged them to be creative, innovative, respectful and peaceful in carrying out their functions, appealing to Amawom indigenes to accord the new leadership the needed support to achieve their mandate.
Adding his voice, Traditional Ruler of Umuororonjo autonomous community, HRH Eze (Dr) Clinton Uboegbulam advised the new President General to work in synergy with his executive, describing it as the only way to achieve result within the shortest time.
He admonished them not to allow minor distraction from individuals to deter them from the mandate of uniting the community, and expressed confidence that the new leadership would make the community proud.
In his acceptance speech on behalf of his executive, the new PG, Chief Ihejieto thanked the monarch and Amawom indigenes for finding them worthy for the responsibility, assuring them of their avowed determination to reform the entire community system for good.
Chief Ihejieto promised that the new leadership under him would not toy with the privilege reposed in him, adding that their administration would put various issues in proper perspective.
The new PG while describing the current youth leadership in the community as illegal and obvious aberration, assured that their government would do everything possible to address it.
