His Royal Majesty, Igwe Nnaemeka Achebe, the Obi of Onitsha, has applauded Anambra State indigenes at the University of Nigeria Nsukka (UNN) for promoting Igbo culture and tradition.
Achebe, who is the Grand Patron, Anambra People’s Assembly (APA) in UNN, made the commendation in Nsukka on Tuesday during the first New Yam Festival organised by the indigenes.
The Obi of Onitsha said that the new yam festival is an important event in Igboland because of the respect and honour Ndigbo have for yam.
“Yam is an important crop, cultivated in every part of Igboland. It serves as food that can be eaten in different ways.
