By Cyprian Ebele, Onitsha

A Social Club on the aegis of ‘Nwaeze Efunamba’ has pledged to sustain its humanitarian interventions for indigent families and vulnerable members of society amid the prevailing economic hardship in the country.

The club made the commitment following its election held at Skyplus, GRA, Onitsha, Anambra State, where new executives emerged to steer its affairs for the next four years.

Speaking after his election, the newly elected President, Emeka Ojukwu, said the club had supported several disadvantaged families through interventions covering hospital bills, house rent, school fees and basic feeding needs.

He said the club would intensify its humanitarian activities, particularly at a time when rising living costs had made it increasingly difficult for many families to meet their basic needs.

According to him, the club’s interventions extend beyond members of the organization to include other vulnerable households facing economic difficulties.

Ojukwu, who disclosed that he had previously served in an acting capacity as president, expressed appreciation to members for the confidence reposed in him through his election.

He pledged to build on his previous achievements and strengthen the club’s activities, stressing that his administration would prioritize unity, development and improved welfare for members.

“I thank my members for finding me worthy of being elected their president. The dream of building a prosperous and united club shall be realized by the special grace of God,” he said.

Earlier, the Chairman of the Electoral Committee, Sampson Nwabude Ezea, expressed satisfaction with the conduct of the election, describing the exercise as peaceful, free, fair and credible.

He commended members for demonstrating maturity and commitment to the club’s democratic process.

Those elected into the executive council include Emeka Ojukwu as President; Onyekachukwu Okafor, Vice President; Izuchukwu Amanze, Secretary; Nonso Obaila, 

Also, Treasurer is Nnamdi Obumse, Financial Secretary; Ala Owerri, Public Relations Officer; Uchenna Ogbu, Provost; and Lucas Nwaeze, Welfare Officer.
