Plans are underway for the Igbo Ekene Global Development Union (IEGDU) to host an awards and honour recognition ceremony in a European country in April 2025.

This announcement was made by the President General of the sociocultural organization, Ambassador Moses Onyegbule, who shared the exciting news from Mr. Kelechi Christopher, the IEGDU Europe coordinator.

Ambassador Onyegbule revealed that the Union’s leadership has decided to honour several distinguished individuals for their outstanding contributions. Among those to be recognized are Hon. Dr. Kingsley Okoronkwo, a prominent Diaspora Leader, and Nwamara Asonye, the Media Director General. Also on the list are Elder Boniface Onwunka, the South East Chairman, TPL Blessing Nwachukwu, the Finance National Director, and Dr. Nnate Uduma, along with others who have made significant impacts in Nigeria.

In addition to the awards, Onyegbule urged the Union’s Board members to prepare for a journey to Europe. This trip will not only involve the awards ceremony but also the official inauguration of the IEGDU Europe branch, marking a significant expansion of the Union’s global presence.

The event promises to be a landmark occasion, celebrating the achievements of the Igbo community and strengthening ties within the diaspora. It will also serve as a platform for fostering cultural exchange and collaboration between the Union and its European counterparts.

As preparations continue, the IEGDU is committed to ensuring that the ceremony reflects the rich heritage and values of the Igbo people, while also highlighting the contributions of its members to global development.

The Union looks forward to welcoming its members and honorees to Europe for this momentous event, which is set to enhance the visibility and influence of the Igbo community on the international stage.

Meanwhile, the IEGDU President General has announced that February 2nd, 2025, is his birthday. While he expects goodwill messages from Nigerians both abroad and in the diaspora, he invites members and the public to the celebration, which promises to be colourful, while soliciting prayers.
