“He is a humanitarian, Red Cross awardee, researcher and author of the books: ‘Experiences of Africans’, ‘African Americans’, ‘Nigerians and Igbos: Self Observation: Experiences and Mental Wellness.’
“Emuwa is also one of the stakeholders of the Nigerian Red Cross. He will volunteer his time and resources towards the assignment, ensuring teams, resources and strategies are aligned with the goals, core mission and values of the Red Cross,” he noted.
Ezeobi, however, identified urgent movement to propose a new office at the Awka South Local Government Secretariat as one of the immediate challenges facing the body.
“When that is finally done, we now conduct the investiture of the current Mayor of Awka South, Prince Chinedu Okafor as the patron in accordance with the Red Cross rule,” he added.
