The Rector of Auchi Polytechnic Edo State, Dr Salisu Shehu Umar, has been conferred with the chieftaincy title of Giwa (Friend of the Sacred Kingdom of Auchi) by the Otaru of Auchi, Alhaji Aliru Momoh.
In the spectacular ceremony which took place yesterday, the ecstatic new traditional title holder said to ExpressDay:
“I thank His Royal Highness, Alhaji Aliru H. Momoh, (Ikelebe III) the Otaru of Auchi Sacred Kingdom and the entire Auchi community for bestowing on me this honour which I am tempted to say I think I don’t deserve.
“It is indeed a honour very dear and special to me because it is coming from a community I have called home for about three decades now.
“I am flattered and lost for words as my modest contributions are honoured are being recognised and celebrated today with the traditional Chieftaincy title of “GIWA” (a friend of the Auchi Community). My earnest prayer is for God’s grace to abound towards me so I can continue to contribute to the development of Auchi community.
“Holding the traditional title of the GIWA of Auchi Sacred Kingdom is a rare privilege which I hold in the highest of esteem.
“It also serves as a motivation and encouragement for me to do more in promoting unity, cohesion and peaceful coexistence not just in our institution and Auchi community, but in the nation at large.”
