Governor of Imo State, Hope Uzodimma, has reiterated his administration’s readiness to bring the Igbo-speaking states together.
To this end, he has put all machinery in motion to revive the annual Ahiajoku Lecture to be held before the end of 2024.
At a world press conference in Owerri to herald the intellectual harvest, the Director General of the Ahiajoku Centre, Raymond Emeana, said that the briefing was informed by the excitement, inquiries and interests shown by Ndigbo both at home and in the diaspora over this year’s Ahiajoku lecture.
Emeana maintained that the Ahiajoku festival remains one of the most cherished cultural heritages of the Igbo people, disclosing that the essence of the press conference was to provide important updates and to highlight the preparations underway for this year’s Ahiajoku festival and lecture series.
According to him: “The Ahiajoku Lecture Festival provides us with the moment and opportunity to celebrate not only our rich traditions and history but also the intellectual and philosophical foundations that have defined us as a people.
“Ahiajoku festival is more than a cultural exhibition—it is an intellectual harvest, deeply rooted in our ancestral reverence for agriculture, knowledge, and community. It serves as a reminder of who we are and where we are headed collectively
