The Omu of Ibusa, Obi Josephine Isioma Nwannabuogwu on Friday, joined other Ibusa guests from different walks of life to attend the Otu Ehulu Fulu Society of Ibusa scholarship award program which held in the community.

Obi Josephine Nwannabuogwu, the Omu of Ibusa, after her coronation, represented Ibusa on April 18, at the recently held Anioma Cultural Festival of the Organization For the Advancement Culture in Asaba and received ovation from within and outside.


Scholarship was awarded eleven brilliant students of Ibusa extraction by Otu Ehulu Fulu Society of Ibusa, a women's indigenous group headed by amazon, Ezinne Philomena Okonkwo and in attendance was Hon Innocent Esewezie, the Chairman of Oshimili North Local Government Area. Among the successful brilliant recipients of the award was Little Theola Adaora Ifechukwude, daughter of Mr. Philip Ngozi Ifechukwude, a renowned novelist and writer from the community. 


The Otu Ehulu Fulu Society of Ibusa also officially acknowledged and received Obi Josephine Nwannabuogwu, the Omu of Ibusa while also promising to synergize with her to move the Ibusa community forward.
