Ohuhu-Umuahia born Cleric Honoured by United Nigeria Airline for Outstanding Patronage
An Ohuhu-born cleric, Bishop Dr. Success Ibeakanma, founder of Royal Choice Ministries International, has been honoured by United Nigeria Airlines with an “Outstanding Customer of the Year” recognition.
The award, according to available information, was presented in acknowledgement of the cleric’s consistent patronage of the airline, particularly his role in facilitating regular group travels for members of his ministry.
Sources indicate that Bishop Ibeakanma frequently books flights for large numbers of his church members—reportedly over 70 persons at a time—making him one of the airline’s notable high-volume customers.
The recognition underscores the growing relationship between religious organisations and Nigeria’s aviation sector, where group travel arrangements have become increasingly common for conferences, crusades, and other ministry-related engagements.
Observers say such large-scale and consistent bookings contribute significantly to airline operations, especially within the domestic travel market.
Bishop Ibeakanma, known for his leadership of Royal Choice Ministries International, has continued to expand his influence both within and beyond the religious space, with his ministry attracting a sizeable following.
The development has been welcomed by members of his church and supporters, who describe the recognition as well-deserved and a reflection of the ministry’s organisational capacity and reach.
