A momentous occasion recently unfolded in Ewu-Urhobo Kingdom, as the Ovie of Ewu Kingdom, Urupe I, bestowed Chieftaincy titles upon 48 deserving indigenes. The grand event, held at the Kingdom, celebrated sons and daughters who have made significant, positive contributions to their community. Among the distinguished guests and several respected clergymen, underscoring the spiritual and traditional significance of the ceremony.

This mass investiture is a powerful testament to the value Ewu Kingdom places on service, leadership, and the preservation of its cultural heritage, marking a proud day for the entire community.

The selection process for the 48 honorees was meticulous and purpose-driven. According to the Ovie of Ewu Kingdom, Urupe I, the individuals were duly screened and found worthy, having served the kingdom "in a great perspective." A central goal of the exercise was to promote togetherness and love; therefore, the recipients were carefully chosen to represent every quarter of the kingdom.

In his address, the Ovie of Ewu Kingdom charged the newly installed chiefs to live up to the high expectations that accompany their titles. He urged them to conduct themselves in a proper manner and, crucially, to work tirelessly for the kingdom’s development. His vision is for the new chiefs to be pivotal in advancing the kingdom’s progress and building lasting peace and unity. By joining hands, the Ovie believes the new chiefs will help bring Ewu Kingdom to the desired level of development, making this set of Chieftaincy Taches not just an honor, but a powerful mandate for service and communal growth.
