This year’s birthday celebration was organized as a huge surprise to her by her children, in-laws and well wishers. Their reason being that going by her way of simple life, she wont accept such gigantic party. One of her child Barr. D. C. Nwuzor, a lecturer in Faculty of Law Ebonyi State University said they decided to present the birthday as a surprise to our mum, the mother of the downtrodden because, we know that she won’t accept this kind of big party because of her simple life. The party was attended by so many dignitaries including Mrs Chinyere Nwogbaga the executive Chairman of Ebonyi LGA. and some members of the State Executive council, BenLaz Christian family as well as friends and well wishers. The birthday celebration was started with a holy mass officiated by Rev. Fr. James Nwofoke who is also the spiritual director of Indigent Care Foundation. On his part, the Roman Catholic Priest thanked God for the gift of Prof Adaeze Nwuzor and described her as a voice for the voiceless, a husband for the widow, a wife to the widowers , the sight to the blind and indeed a helper. Prof. Nwuzor said she never expected this kind of great event and also said that she is surprised as the event was planned without her knowing. She was overwhelmed how the officiating priest agreed to come and also show the surprise to her. She thanked the priest and everyone present and pray God to add more twenty years to the live of everyone present for the fact that they came. On her part, one of her daughters Mrs Chinwe Felicia Okemini (nee Nwuzor) thanked everyone present and said their mum needed to be celebrated for she is an epitome of motherhood and that she has been her source of inspiration. Many people who graced the occasion noted one or two things they knew this great achiever with.
