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.
