UNIEC in a letter signed by its Director General, His Lordship, Justice Ikpeama, the council lauded Sen. Azuta-Mbata leadership capacity and commitment to the collective interests of Igbo people.

The elders also tasked him with fostering stronger collaboration with Southeast and Southsouth governors to ensure the adequate provision of security and economic development within the region.
