OBONG UNWANA NSIT ATAI EARNED.
I am deeply humbled and honoured to have been conferred with the traditional title of OBONG UNWANA NSIT ATAI by our revered Paramount Ruler, HRM Edidem (Prophet) Peter Okon Effiong, during his coronation ceremony on May 30, 2026.
I sincerely thank His Royal Majesty, the Nsit Atai Traditional Rulers Council and the entire people of Nsit Atai for finding me worthy of this distinguished honour.
Although official engagements outside the country prevented me from attending the ceremony in person, I am grateful that my brother was present to receive the honour on my behalf. His presence made it possible for me to share in this memorable occasion despite the distance.
To be named OBONG UNWANA NSIT ATAI is a privilege that I do not take for granted. To me, this title is not merely an honour but a call to greater service and a reminder that positions of privilege find their highest purpose in uplifting others, promoting peace, fostering unity and contributing meaningfully to the development of our communities.
Even though my official duties have taken me beyond our shores, my heart has always remained with my people. This is why I make every effort to be available to my brothers and sisters whenever my official engagements permit. I remain committed to identifying with our people and contributing, in every way possible, to the continued progress and development of our dear local government area.
As I accept this honour, I pledge to uphold the values and responsibilities it represents and to continue keeping the light of service, peace and development burning for the benefit of present and future generations.
I thank you once again for this remarkable recognition. May God bless Nsit Atai, Akwa Ibom State and the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
His Excellency (Obong Unwana),
Ambassador Ubong Akpan Johnny
