By Onome Naomi
The 6th Annual International Convention and Royal Summit by AIDO Network International slated for November 4th, 2024, at the prestigious Federal Palace Hotel Victoria Island, Lagos, while the ‘Excellent Awards’ for prominent individuals in the society locally and internationally will be held on the 9th of November at the same venue.
Amongst the prominent awardees to be decorated is Eze Dr. Chika Nwokedi Ezendigbo Ijegun Ijeododo Chairman Council of Ndi Eze Igbo Lagos for his patriotism, philanthropic prowess, and rulership excellence. In addition, Eze Nwokedi, whom journalists fondly call ‘The Digital Eze,’ is constantly on news pages for his significant show of resilience to serve the people and astute leadership qualities as the presiding Igbo traditional ruler in the Ijegun Ijeododo community, former chairman Ladipo Auto Parts Market, founder of the Igbo Buru’Otu Association of Nigeria, and Chairman Council of Ndi Eze Igbo Lagos State.
Philanthropically, he has catered for over 500 widows, paid hospital bills for puerpera mothers, the sick, the less privileged, and out-of-school children, amongst many other financial obligations fulfilled in the lives of many using personal funds. His leadership style is being emulated by many due to his selfless service to humanity.
Still on his leadership prowess and responsibility, during the last general elections in 2023, Eze Nwokedi demonstrated true patriotism by calming brewing tension between tribes, a situation that would have turned bloody, hence his timely intervention. This significant situation also led him to prominence as a notable figure in accolades for his level of bravery, leadership excellence, and peaceful demeanor.
The nomination of Eze Chika Nwokedi by AIDO Network International for the ‘Excellent Awards’ is a spur unto greater achievement as he continuously serves humanity and leads judiciously.
