Billionaire businessman, philanthropist, and the CEO Diamond Leeds Ltd, High Chief Kenneth Ifekudu (Agbalanze Onyekachukwu na Ozubulu) has been honoured with another chieftaincy title in recognition of his massive philanthropy and humanitarian works in his community.
This time, he was honoured with the title of Ife Ozubulu, which means “light of Ozubulu” by His Royal Majesty, Igwe Nnamdi Fidelis Oruche, Obi Ozubulu in appreciation of his contributions towards raising the bar of development in Ozubulu, Anambra State.
The event took place on Dec. 31, 2024 at Ugodinobi Palace, Amakwa, Ozubulu, Ekwusigo LGA., Anambra State and was a colourful sight to behold as sons and daughters of the community and high profile individuals filed out to witness the happy moment.
His friend and associates from far and wide came to be part of the wonderful display of rich cultural heritage of the people of Ozubulu.
His beautiful wife, Lolo Kenneth Ifekudu was also crowned with a prestigious tradition title in recognition of her overwhelming support to the husband.
Agbalanze is known to have brought succour and laughter to many families in Ozubulu in particular and Anambra State in general.
Not long ago, he empowered over 100 persons with mini trucks to support their livelihood, in response to growing economic challenges facing many families across the country, arising from high cost of living, hyper inflation and job losses.
Similar projects have also been carried out in the past to advance his humanitarian and philanthropic programmes such as the construction of the Mega Ultra Modern Market and a 2.27km road in Ozubulu.
High Chief Ifekudu who recently won the award of businessman of the year of the Sun Newspaper has consistently demonstrated that charity begins at home, which inspired the decision to ensure that people of his community are the first beneficiaries of the empowerment.
Ifekudu, who is also the Patron of the Igbo Ambassadors Club, United Kingdom, who recently unveiled his multi-billion Naira mansion in Anambra was last year honoured by Radio, Television, Theatre and Arts Workers’ Union of Nigeria (RATTAWU) with the prestigious award of Man of the Year.
A holder of national honour of OFR, he has remained consistent in carrying out very impactful projects in communities.
