She first thanked HRH Eze Francis Ahanotu of Amiyi Akah, HRH Eze Kenjul Uzoho of Acharaji Akah and all the local governments in the state that sent their representatives to the event. The Ugoeze Amiyi Akah also went further to thank all the members of Nzuko Ndi Lolo Amiyi Akah who relentlessly made sure that the empowerment program did not only hold but achieved the expected success at the end.

Explaining to Umuaka Times on how the organization started, Ugoeze Vara Ahanotu stated that the organization Nzuko Ndi Lolo Amiyi Akah was born in the December of 2023. In December 2025 the members of the organization had her first physical meeting at the palace of the royal father of Amiyi Akah Eze Francis Ahanotu where they had the opportunity to see each other for the first time. After a long period of brainstorming and arrangements, the organization on January 6, 2026, held an empowerment program where academic materials like books, biros etc were shared to pupils and students during the program.

In another disclosure, the Ugoeze Amiyi Akah explained to Umuaka Times reporters how the Nzuko Ndi Lolo Amiyi Akah Autonomous Community erected the fence at the Town School Amiyi and went for another project. The most interesting part of the empowerment program according to the Ugoeze is the hand of love she and her members have extended to other communities.

We also sent some to Okwudor to cover the community the current chairman of Njaba LGA came from.
