The Committee emphasized that preparations for the lecture remain firmly on course, and a new date will be communicated to the public through official channels as soon as it is finalized. Stakeholders were urged to remain patient and rely solely on verified information from the Ahiajoku Centre to avoid misinformation during the transition period. The organisers extended sincere appreciation to all supporters for their understanding and cooperation at this critical time.
In reaffirming their commitment to the core values of the festival, the Central Planning Committee reiterated that the Ahiajoku Lecture remains a symbol of Igbo intellectual excellence, cultural continuity, and communal unity. They assured the public that the eventual rescheduled event will uphold the standard of excellence associated with the festival and will bring together the Igbo community in an atmosphere of pride, reflection, and celebration.
Hon. Nze Ray Emeana, Director General of the Ahiajoku Centre in Owerri, expressed the Centre’s unwavering dedication to protecting and promoting Igbo cultural heritage. He noted that despite the temporary setback, the Festival’s mission remains unchanged, and the Committee looks forward to welcoming all participants once a new date is announced.
He encouraged the public to continue supporting the Ahiajoku tradition, stressing that the Festival’s enduring significance lies in its ability to unite generations in honour of Igbo history, values, and collective identity.
