The monarch also appointed the former State Director, National Orientation Agency, Dr. Augustine Okolie, as the Special Adviser on General Matters, while a former Local Government chairmanship candidate of the United Progressive Party (UPP) was appointed as the Personal Assistant on Special Duties.
The appointments also became the first of their kind in the community in 26 years.
In a statement personally signed by the monarch and made available to newsmen in Enugu on Sunday, he stated that the nominees were carefully selected across clans, villages, and wards in the community based on good track records, academic excellence, service to the community, competence, among others.
He stated that the selected persons will serve in various capacities such as Igwe’s Cabinet, Igwe’s Advisory Council, Ndi Ichie, and Cabinet Mothers.
Igwe Ogbonna also called on all the nominated sons and daughters of the land to prioritise community development and unity while discharging their duties.
He further called on the good people of Ogugu Ntu-egbenese Ancient Kingdom to give all the needed support to the appointed chiefs, sons, and daughters, as the goal is to achieve disruptive progress in the community.
Speaking with newsmen, the newly appointed Palace Secretary, Dr. Sebastine Chukwuebuka Okafor, expressed his joy over the appointment, which makes him one of the youngest in the state to hold such a revered position.
