Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

OHANAEZE Ndigbo has called on Ndigbo both home and abroad to invest much in agriculture, especially in their peculiar areas of comparative advantage such as palm produce, rice, cassava, cashew plantation, yam, among other crops.

Chairman of the apex Igbo body, Enugu State Chapter, Chief Alex Ogbonnia gave the charge while inaugurating the Ezeagu local government council chapter of the organisation.

He described as unacceptable the abandonment of agricultural programmes that formed the hub of cash crop productions for economic prosperity in the defunct Eastern Nigeria Region government and therefore advised Ndigbos against depending on other parts of the country for its source of food consumption.

Ogbonnia disclosed the vision of the new Ohanaeze leadership under Chief Nnia Nwodo to include restoration of Igbo spirit, unity of purpose and speaking with one voice in the interest of the Igbo nation.

He assured the people of Ezeagu local government of the new Ohanaeze’s readiness to give Ndigbo purposeful leadership at all levels both home and in Diaspora.

The inauguration was attended by Ezeagu Caretaker Council Chairman, Chukwudi Ezinwa, Senator Ben Collins Ndu and Chairman of Enugu State Traditional Council, HRM Amb. Lawrence Agubuzo
