P.M.EXPRESS reports that the prestigious award was presented to Eze Nwoye on his birthday by the President of the group, Ifeanyi Dike, who led some of their members to honour him.

Dike stated that the group had carefully observed what Eze Nwoye had done in the past and how he distributed palliatives to the less privileged people in Ejigbo Community not minding tribe and religion during the lockdown occasioned by Covid-19.

He hinted that the group noted that he was the only Igbo they observed that had the passion and cared for the people during the trying period hence the group agreed to honour him as reward for his milk of human kindness.

He explained that the group was formed among Media Practitioners to project and protect the image of the Igbo and to add their voices as Ndigbo on suggestions that will enhance the Igbo progress.

In response, Eze Nwoye thanked the group for recognising his little efforts by providing palliatives to people in the area. He said that the award is a kind of motivation which will make him to do more for the less privileged in the society especially during this trying period.
