Moghalu
Professor Kingsley Chiedu Moghalu, former Deputy Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria and a presidential candidate in the 2019 elections, was recently conferred with the traditional title of Ifek’ego Nnewi (‘That which is greater than money’) by the Igwe of Nnewi, HRH Dr. Kenneth Orizu III.
The title was conferred by the monarch of the 600 year-old kingdom at a colourful ceremony in Nnewi during his 57th yearly Ofala Festival on December 28, 2020.
With this recognition, Moghalu is now a member of the prestigious Body of Titled Chiefs of Nnewi, one of Nigeria’s most dynamic commercial towns. x
Igwe Orizu, 95, and one of Africa’s longest reigning monarchs, having clocked 57 years on the throne, said that he conferred the Ifek’ego title on Moghalu in recognition of his “meritorious contributions to the development of Nnewi town.”
