ULTRA MODERN UMUENEM HALL: Dr. Cletus Ibeto Gift To His Community (Photos)

A man who is respected, adored and to some extent ‘worshipped’ by his people and the Nnewi community at large.

A lot has been said about the person of Dr. Cletus Ibeto and more would still be said but none will ever be enough to quantify his largesse and benevolence to his people in times past and present. As the need for a befitting hall plagued his people, he thought it upon himself to build not just a hall but an edifice. He single-handedly built and handed it over to his people in grand style.

The event witnessed the creme de la creme of the city of billionaires, Nnewi and had the presence of the longest-serving Igbo monarch and number 2 in Nigeria, HRM, Igwe KON Orizu (III).

Dr. Cletus Ibeto, The Field Marshal of “Aku Lu Uno,” a tagline accustomed with the Nnewi people, and their penchant for rapid development in their town is a household name.

As the Christmas season approached last year, and the influx of returnees for the holidays were all over the place, Omekannaya did the needful by handing over the hall to his community, a first in Nnewi as far as the town is concerned. The hall which is located along the ever-busy Igwe Orizu road is a beauty through and through. The beauty that glows at night makes it a mecca of sorts for people and passerby who leverage on its flashy backgrounds and lightings to pose for shots.

Moving ahead, Dr. Cletus Ibeto has been instrumental in the development of his community. Prior to the opening of the hall, he is said to have built houses for his friends, family members, and even random acquaintance. He is said to have built the church he worships in, the fact people say attributes to one of the secrets of his non-stop success.

Over the years, Dr. Cletus Ibeto has always been at the forefront of the town development, which entails human and capacity building. He has empowered lots of Ndi-Nnewi and even beyond. He has consistently shown that his philanthropy is not to attract self-praise but an intentional effort to put Nnewi on the limelight.Indeed, Chief Cletus Ibeto’s laudable think-home philosophy in Nnewi, is a precedence for others to follow.
