It was a colourful event filled with fanfare and merriment when at the weekend his Royal Highness the Emir of Bwari, Ibrahim Yaro, conferred the traditional title of ‘Abegyi Bwaya’ on the FCT Football Association Chairman, Adam Mouktar Mohammed.
The chieftancy was a reward to Mouktar Mohammed for his dynamic leadership of football in the FCT as well as philantrophic and humanitarian initiatives in the community.
‘Abegyi Bwaya’ translates to ‘Progress of Bwari’ to confirm the positive impact the FCT FA chairman has made in the development of the Bwari chiefdom.
The Bwari Emirate Coucncil and top FCT FA officials attended the conferment at the Emir’s palace.
It would be recalled that Mouktar Mohammed facilitated the renovation of the Bwari Township Stadium, which has since staged top matches including the recent Federation Cup semifinal between Abakaliki FC and Ikorodu City.
The new Bwari chief expressed his appreciation for this recognition.
“I am most honoured by this recognition,” he said.
“This is a huge motivation for me as I hope to continue to promote human development in the community and beyond.”
A novelty match was later staged at the Bwari Stadium in honour of Mouktar Mohammed.
