ENUGU — Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide has pledged to immediately push for implementation of the new Igbo Charter, following the submission of the committee report by former CBN Deputy Governor, Prof. Kingsley Moghalu.
The President-General of Ohanaeze, Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu, received the document Tuesday at the group’s National Secretariat in Enugu. He described the charter as a “unified blueprint” for Igbo interests and promised it would not be shelved.
“This is a new roadmap for Ndigbo. Ohanaeze will set up an action committee this week to drive advocacy, engagement, and enforcement of the recommendations,” Iwuanyanwu said.
The 15-member Moghalu-led committee was inaugurated in January to harmonize Igbo positions on restructuring, security, economic revival, and political inclusion. The final report was compiled after months of consultations across the seven Igbo-speaking states and key diaspora communities.
Presenting the charter, Prof. Moghalu said it reflects a non-partisan consensus on core demands. “This document gives Ndigbo one voice. It is a framework for negotiating our place in Nigeria and protecting our future,” he stated.
Ohanaeze confirmed the report will guide its engagement with the Federal Government, National Assembly, and international bodies. Traditional rulers, youth groups, and women leaders who attended the handover urged swift action on the charter’s provisions.
