According to a report by The Sun, the World Igbo Congress (WIC) and the American Veterans of Igbo Descent (AVID), both based in the United States, have highlighted the absence of designated land for Igbo settlements or businesses across Nigeria. This concern was expressed in a letter addressed to Peter Mbah, the Governor of Enugu State, by these organizations.
In the letter, AVID and WIC urged Governor Mbah to seek wise counsel to protect their homeland from potential threats disguised as ranching activities. They offered their cooperation to enhance the safety of Enugu State residents and the broader South-East Region. As guardians of Igbo heritage, they emphasized the importance of safeguarding every inch of ancestral land from external influences. They pointed out that no part of Nigeria has allocated land specifically for Igbo settlements or enterprises, contrasting with the vast expanses of land available for ranching in Northern regions.
The organizations emphasized the urgency of addressing this disparity to ensure the protection and prosperity of the Igbo people. They called for proactive measures to preserve Igbo land and culture, advocating for collaborative efforts between government authorities and Igbo community leaders.
Highlighting the potential threats posed by encroachment under the guise of ranching activities, AVID and WIC underscored the need for vigilant oversight and strategic planning to safeguard Igbo territories. They emphasized that the allocation of land for Igbo settlements and businesses is crucial for fostering economic growth, social cohesion, and cultural preservation within the Igbo community.
In conclusion, the letter urged Governor Mbah and other stakeholders to prioritize the protection of Igbo land rights and work towards equitable land allocation policies that reflect the interests and needs of the Igbo people. By addressing this pressing issue, they emphasized the importance of ensuring the security, prosperity, and cultural integrity of the Igbo homeland.…….See More
