On behalf of the Ayakoromo Annual Convention Committee, I am delighted to officially announce that the much-anticipated Ayakoromo Annual Convention commences today December 29, 2025. Already, the echoes of excitement are reverberating across our community; the media, youth, women, elders, cultural groups, and stakeholders are fully prepared to witness history in motion.
This year’s Convention is truly unique and innovative. For the first time since the inception of our Convention, an exciting range of cultural and recreational activities has been embedded into the programme to revive our communal spirit, promote unity, and celebrate our rich heritage. Attendees should look forward to:
● Colourful Cultural Dances
● The thrilling Ongusei displays
● The electrifying Agene Dance in the stylistic tradition of Tompolo / Late Jay Jay of Boukangha-Edumu, Akubiri quarters, Ayakoromo
● Quarter-by-Quarter Ogele Dance Competition
● Tug of War
● Moderated Drinking Competition (strictly controlled, not to encourage abuse)
● A host of others
One of the most captivating highlights already generating excitement is the Events Arena; beautifully decorated, well-structured, and aesthetically designed. It stands as a symbol of our rebirth and collective pride.
We are also pleased to announce that Lunch shall be provided once daily for participants throughout the Convention, beginning from the 29th to the 31st of December, as part of our commitment to welfare, comfort, and hospitality.
We remain deeply grateful to the Ayakoromo Federated Community for embracing the vision of the Constitution Review Committee and approving this Convention Committee structure in the newly reviewed constitution. This bold acceptance has paved the way for what promises to be a revived, re-energized, and more impactful Convention.
In line with our new direction, paper presentations shall now be professionally managed by the Rapporteurs. This approach will harmonize similar ideas, prevent repetition, ensure clarity, and guarantee effective time management, while still preserving fairness and inclusiveness.
As always, the climax of the Convention shall be the handover ceremony, where the outgoing Town Executives shall formally hand over to the incoming leadership. A true democratic and cultural tradition of Ayakoromo unity, continuity, and progress.
We call on all sons and daughters of Ayakoromo, at home and in the diaspora, to actively participate. Let us celebrate our culture, strengthen our unity, deepen dialogue, and build a renewed future together.
Ayakoromo shall rise. Our Convention lives again. Growth is assured.
God bless the Ayakoromo Federated Community.
ENGR. HENRY YEIGAGHA (JP)
Acting Secretary,
Ayakoromo Annual Convention Committee.
