There were also some domestic assistants who were busy doing one thing or another to ensure the success of the big event. Immediately the team of reporters was cleared by the security, they moved in to greet the monarch as the tradition demands. In few minutes time, that was done and everyone was now seated.<\/p>\n<p>After kola nuts were served, Umuaka Times made a speech. \u201cWe are here today absolutely on recommendation we got from not one but many persons who have closely monitored your achievements as the royal father of this community.

Today Umuaka Times has come to bestow on you the Man of the Year Award for 2025 in Isu LGA in recognition of all your philanthropic activities in the community.
