As the highest organ of the Ukehe people residing in Abuja and its environs, the UGAA plays a crucial role in promoting unity, progress, and development within the community.

The current leadership, led by Chief Barr Ifesi Nwodo, has served with distinction for quite some time.

With this extension, Chief Barr Ifesi Nwodo's tenure in this esteemed position reaches a commendable five years.

The second tenure is set to end on August 7th, 2024, paving the way for new leaders to lead UGAA into the future. The association is committed to upholding democratic principles and conducting fair elections to ensure a smooth transition of power.

 In line with this, the UGAA has scheduled its July meeting on Sunday, July 7th, 2024.

The agenda of the meeting includes crucial matters such as the final reading and passage of the constitution into bye-law, account presentation, and the constitution of electoral committee members. The meeting will take place at 3 pm and will be graciously hosted by Ozor Chief Friday Aroh. The venue for the event is Tickles Garden, located in Wuse Zone 5.

This meeting presents an opportune moment for all Ukehe people residing in Abuja and its environs to gather, discuss important matters, and contribute to the future development of the community. UGAA encourages all interested stakeholders to attend and actively participate in the meeting.

As the association approaches this important milestone, it is crucial that all members take an active interest in the leadership transition and contribute to the growth and development of UGAA. By coming together, the Ukehe people can continue to foster harmonious relationships, promote unity, and work towards achieving the association's goals and objectives.
