Ohanaeze Ndigbo Lagos State Chapter, under the leadership of its President, Chief Leonard Okafor, popularly known as Oba Ojoto, is set to hold the fifth edition of its monthly General Assembly meeting on Saturday, October 31, 2026, at Peninsula Hotels and Resort, Ajah, Lekki, Lagos.

The meeting, scheduled to commence at 1:00 p.m. prompt, will be hosted by Eti-Osa Local Government Area (LGA), Eti-Osa East Local Council Development Area (LCDA), Ikoyi-Obalande LCDA, and Iru-VI LCDA.

The gathering is expected to bring together members of the organisation from across Lagos State, including traditional rulers, community leaders, newly registered members, Ohanaeze ward chairmen, Igbo stakeholders, and representatives of the wider Igbo community.

The monthly General Assembly serves as a platform for fostering unity, strengthening relationships among members, discussing issues of common interest, and promoting the welfare, cultural identity, and collective progress of Ndigbo in Lagos State.

The fifth edition is particularly significant as it provides another opportunity for members to reaffirm their commitment to the ideals of brotherhood, peaceful coexistence, mutual respect, and the development of their communities.

Under the leadership of Chief Okafor, the Lagos State Chapter has continued to encourage greater participation in the affairs of the organisation, with emphasis on bringing members together and strengthening the bonds that unite Ndigbo across the state.

The involvement of the four host councils is expected to further promote grassroots participation and encourage members from different local government areas and council development areas to identify with the activities of the organisation.

Organisers have called on all members of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Lagos State Chapter, traditional rulers, community leaders, stakeholders, and the entire Igbo community in Lagos to attend the meeting.

They stressed that the success of the General Assembly would depend significantly on the active participation, cooperation, and support of members, noting that a united community remains better positioned to address common challenges and pursue shared aspirations.

Beyond its administrative and deliberative functions, the monthly gathering also offers an opportunity for members to renew friendships, exchange ideas, strengthen community ties, and preserve the cultural heritage of the Igbo people.

The organisers expressed optimism that the forthcoming meeting would further consolidate the spirit of unity and collective responsibility among Ndigbo while advancing the objectives of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Lagos State Chapter.

Members and invited guests are expected to converge on Peninsula Hotels and Resort, by Budo Hospital, near GIG Motors, Ajíwe, Ajah, Lekki, Lagos, for the meeting, which begins at 1:00 p.m.

The event is expected to reaffirm the organisation’s commitment to unity, love, peace, cultural preservation, and the collective advancement of Ndigbo under the leadership of Chief Leonard Okafor, popularly known as Oba Ojoto.
