IAWPA To Recognize Okam Ezieme For Outstanding Community Impact To SDGs

The International Association of World Peace Advocates IAWPA has given reasons why it will be honouring Mr. Okam Ezieme with an appointment/ award of Eminent Peace Ambassador EPA.

The International Spokesman of the association Amb Emmanuel Nkweke in a press release to media men said the commitment of Ezieme to the ideals of the SDGs as seen specifically in SDG one, two and twelve which talks specifically on NO POVERTY, ZERO HUNGER AND RESPONSIBLE CONSUMPTION AND PRODUCTION necessitated his nomination for the appointment.

“Mr. Okam Ezieme is a young Nigerian who has been touching and creating impacts on the lives of Nigerians especially the women and young ones. Recall that he has supported farmers with farm tools to encourage them in their farming activities aimed at boosting food productions. He also travelled to Gosa community in Abuja where his non governmental organisation gave out food items to those struggling to feed themselves and their families. Aside that, the Oliven Development Initiative which he oversees, showed care to Gosa community where they took medical cares to the community with the objectives of detecting and treating those suffering from tuberculosis. This he did with partnership from the federal ministry of health. These are the kind of persons Nigeria need and we are really proud to add him to our rising list of Eminent Peace Ambassadors” the statement said.
