In his goodwill message, Dr. Alex C. Otti, the Executive Governor of Abia State, expressed his support for initiatives that foster cultural revival and unity among Ndigbo, describing the forthcoming conference as “a rallying point for redefining the Igbo spirit in the modern era.”

According to the organizers, the Igbo Cultural Conference will feature keynote addresses, panel discussions, cultural displays, and resolutions aimed at strengthening Igbo socio-political relevance, deepening intergenerational knowledge transfer, and repositioning the Igbo nation in Nigeria and the global community.

Speaking ahead of the event, Mazi Chima Stanley PhD, Chairman of the Igbo National Council, Abia State, noted that the conference would serve as a “cultural renaissance platform to reinvigorate Igbo traditions and ensure the protection of our collective heritage.”

The Igbo Cultural Conference is expected to draw participants from across the South-East, South-South, and the Igbo diaspora, making Aba, once again, the heartbeat of Igbo cultural, political, and intellectual discourse.
