By Mohammed Adekola
Ohanaeze Ndigbo Ibeju-Lekki Chapter celebrates the Igbo rich cultural heritage and launching of their maiden edition of their OGENE Magazine.
Speaking during the ceremony, Engr. Boniface Ajibo, Chairman, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Ibeju-Lekki LGA, explained that the occasion was also put together to honour some Igbo leaders, sons and daughters who one way or the other contributed to the development of the society by the extension of their helping hands to the less privileged, promotion of Igbo culture, youth empowerment, financial assistance to Ohanaeze as well as awarding scholarships to indigent students.
Engr. Ajibo explained that the main objective of his executive is to unite all sons and daughters of Ndigbo in Ibeju-Lekki and to maintain cordial relationship with other ethnic groups.
He said, “Our belief is that vying and holding posts in Ohanaeze Ndigbo Ibeju-Lekki is a selfless service to humanity and a means to unify our people. We, therefore, plan that early part of 2025, we will call the attention of all prominent sons and daughters of Igbo residents in Ibeju-Lekki to seek a way of bringing all of us together. It is said that ‘gigidibuugwueze; naayikoro na amaro onye Ike gwuru.”’
Ajibo appealed to all aggrieved Igbo sons and daughters who have lost hope in Ohanaeze to come and join hands to build Ohanaeze to an enviable level for the good of all and plan for Ohanaeze Ndigbo Ibeju-Lekki Secretariat.
