The highly revered monarch of Ubulu-Uno Kingdom and 2nd Vice Chairman of Delta State Council of Traditional Rulers, HRM Obi Henry Afamefune Kikachukwu Ph.D., has eulogized the founder and coordinator of Fostering Hopes Foundation, Nkechi Ukome for her benevolence to the vulnerable in the society, positing that her help towards the needy is a testament to the fact that she is proudly an Anioma daughter in all ramifications.
Obi Kikachukwu made this assertion while receiving the Sustainer of Hope award from Fostering Hopes Foundation, being an extension of recognition to those supporting humanitarian works in the society, which he could have received during the Hope Unites 2025 – Walkathon and Event, but was unavoidably absent.
The renowned Traditional Ruler described Nkechi Ukome as a replica of her father, a pioneer Architect in Julius Berger Plc, who was renowned for his philanthropy and charitable nature.
He commended Nkechi Ukome for taking after her father by coming home to empower and lighten the burden of those who truly need help in their families, in order to avert family separation and child destitution.
He prayed for the Foundation and promised to always be at the forefront in supporting every course of programme that may originate from it going forward.
