The Anambra Community Youth Development (ACYD) Award Committee has announced Rev. Fr. Basil Ekwunife as the “Best Role Model” for youths in Ayamelum Local Government Area (LGA). The recognition comes following a thorough evaluation by the ACYD Screening Committee, which assessed eight distinguished role models across various criteria.
Fr. Ekwunife, who serves as the
Vice Chancellor and Health Coordinator for Onitsha Archdiocese, was nominated for his exemplary leadership and positive influence on the youth. His achievements and contributions to community development in Ayamelum earned him the highest marks, placing him at the top of the nominees from the LGA.
In a letter signed by Comrade Ananti Peter Onyinkalu, a member of the ASATU Youth Executive Committee, the President General of Asatu Youth, Comrade Ken Okoli, conveyed the nomination, stating that Fr. Ekwunife’s contributions make him an “Icon of Hope” for the youth and future generations.
The event, where all 21 Best Role Models from the 21 LGAs in Anambra State will be honored, will be announced soon.
