The award which was presented to Mrs Calista Ekechi by His Lordship, Archbishop Ignatius Ayau Kaigama, took place on Sunday June 25, 2023 at the church premises.<\/p>\n<p>For those who may not know, Mrs Calista Ekechi has been a member of the church even before she got married some years back. Umuaka Times was informed by a highly dependable church source that she has also made immeasurable contributions towards the growth of the church. Mrs Ekechi and her husband, Mr Mike Ekechi, a native of Obinze of Imo State have been fully making different contributions and giving several support services to the church from the onset.<\/p>\n<p>It was this kind gesture that the church has now come to acknowledge with a merit award of high repute. Mrs Ekechi described the award as a call for more duties and services. She told Umuaka Times that she and her husband would like to dedicate the award to the Almighty God, Nigerian widows and the church in general.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-12748\" src=\"http:\/\/umuakatimes.com\/topnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/IMG_20230701_231146.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"555\" height=\"881\" srcset=\"https:\/\/umuakatimes.com\/topnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/IMG_20230701_231146.jpg 555w, https:\/\/umuakatimes.com\/topnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/IMG_20230701_231146-189x300.jpg 189w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 555px) 100vw, 555px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Mrs Calista Ekechi was recently in the news in Umuaka Times after she attracted a pipe borne water project to her immediate community of Umulolo Ugbele-Akah.
