The Nigeria’s High Commissioner to the United Kingdom, Amb. Sarafa Tunji Isola hosted the President-General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu and other eminent leaders of the Igbo race to a dinner to dialogue on the promotion of peace and unity in Nigeria.

Another purpose of the event was to foster familiarity between the mission’s staff and members of the Ohanaeze Ndigbo.

According to the statement, Iwuanyanwu, accompanied by his spouse and other members of the Ohanaeze Ndigbo, was the guest of honour at the dinner event.

During the dinner, the President-General, on behalf of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, expressed deep appreciation to the High Commissioner for granting the organization an audience, noting that he was the first High Commissioner of Nigeria in the United Kingdom to grant audience to Ohanaeze Ndigbo.

Iwuanyanwu said the gathering was the second of such engagements by the High Commissioner.

Iwuanyanwu also highlighted Nigeria’s potential for prosperity, emphasising that with harmony, equity, and fairness, Nigeria could become one of the most prosperous countries in the world due to its abundant human and natural resources.

In his remarks, the High Commissioner emphasised the significant connections among Nigerian citizens in the United Kingdom, particularly the Igbo community, which he said was known for its resilience, creativity, and contributions to various fields that enriched the global tapestry of culture and progress.

He reiterated the importance of Nigeria’s unity, stating that it would facilitate stronger alliances with other nations worldwide.

Underscoring the strong bond within the Nigerian community and the robust diplomatic ties between Nigeria and the United Kingdom, the envoy encouraged Ohanaeze Ndigbo to continue fostering unity, peace, and camaraderie for the betterment of Nigeria.
