The event, which took place at the town’s Central School field, featured a celebration of octogenarians who were classed into their own ‘Itoogbo’, a civic reception for outstanding personalities from within and outside the community, and the induction of a new age grade.

According to a release by the community’s media team, Obeledu’s president general (PG), Engr Kenneth Echendu, commended the town’s sons and daughters for their massive support for the multiple programs loaded into one.

He congratulated the recipients of civic reception and recognition for blazing the trail in their various fields of human endeavour.

Echendu also congratulated the sixty octogenarians, men and women, for attaining such an old age at a time when life expectancy in the country is less than fifty.
