ISIAGU- Over Hundreds of widows and the elderly women of Isiagu Community in Awka South Local Government have benefitted from the Philanthropic Gestures initiated by Hon Chief Chigbogu Nweke (Nwanayoeze 1 of Isiagu) as a way of giving back to the society and thanking God Almighty for his mercies and Love upon his life and his family as He gave out Bags of Rice, wrappers, Tin tomatoes and Cash as well as supplements to enable them (Isiagu widows) to celebrate the Christmas with ease.

Sharing the experience about his humble background, Nwanayoeze said he was always willing to assist even before people demand assistance.
“Those who know me will testify to the fact that the act of giving has been part and parcel of me.

And this I have promised to sustain,” Hon Chief Nweke said.
The Women who could not contain their joys, prayed God for better health and protection for Nwanayoeze family in accordance with His wishes, to protect and guide him in all his going out and coming in.
