The annual thanksgiving and get-together of Akama Oghe Indigenes resident in Abuja, Nigeria Federal Capital Territory (FCT), holds this Sunday, December 21.
The event which begins with holy Mass, is to thank God for His protection and blessings throughout the year.
Akama Oghe Improvement Union (AOIU) which will be marking her over 30 years of existence, will use the occasion to review her activities for the year 2025 and chart a new course for the coming year.
Two of Akama Oghe illustrious sons, Chiefs Edward Anidobi and Stanley Okike, supported the occasion with a giant cow.
“It is to express our gratitude to God for the people of Akama Oghe in Abuja for 2025,” they said.
It is expected that Hon. Sunday Umeha, a member of House of Representatives, who is also an indigene of the community, will grace the occasion.
Chairman of Akama Oghe Improvement Union, Comrade Felix Ifoh, said Akama Oghe Indigenes in Abuja have everything to be grateful to God.
“Since January to December this year, we’ve lost nobody, and we know that the good Lord who began the good things in our lives will see it to the end.
“Despite the challenges facing the country, none of our people is a victim.
“Though it is not bed of roses, but we have every reason to thank God, and we believe with our thanksgiving, God will continue to create the way for us,” he said
This is not the first time Akama Oghe Indigenes in Abuja will be marking their end of year get-together.
In 2009, the association marked her 25th anniversary and embarked on the rehabilitation of Nneke Ebere Hospital.
The association also facilitated the provision of furnitures for pupils of Community Primary School, Akama Oghe, by the MTN through the assistance of our late brother, Mr. Cajetan Agu.
Comrade Ifoh disclosed that the programme for the 2026 will be unveiled at the 2025 get-together.
