Nsit Ibom Chapter
MBOHO MKPARAWA IBIBIO NSIT IBOM
CHAPTER PROFILE
Before the creation of Nsit Ibom Local Government Area in 1991, the geographical entity called Nsit Ibom was part of Nsit Ubium Local Government Area with headquarters at Ikot Edibon. So meetings and chapter activities of Mboho Mkparawa Ibibio were centred at Ikot Edibon.
Upon the creation of Nsit Ibom LGA in 1991 there came a need to establish a chapter of Mboho Mkparawa Ibibio in Nsit Ibom. And by July 1992 coordination activities started for the chapter which was formally inaugurated as the 9th Chapter of Mboho Mkparawa Ibibio by Akparawa Okon Imerh then President of Mboho Mkparawa Ibibio on 29th May, 1993 in a colourful ceremony chaired by Obong Precious Akpan (Obong Nsit) at the council hall of Afaha Offiong.
During that inauguration over 30 new members were inducted into the organization and the first chapter executives were also inaugurated. The pioneer Executive members had Akparawa Otuekongabasi Udousoro (a.k.a Youth Opinion) as Chairman. Other members were:
Akparawa Anthony Okpon – Vice Chairman

Akparawa Monday Etokakpan – Assistant Secretary
Akparawaanwan Grace Edward Inyang – Women Leader
Akparawa Uyoata Ntong – P.R.O.
