A non-profit organisation, Aro-Okeigbo Social Club of Nigeria (AROSON), has set aside September 22, 2018 to raise funds to build a top class recreation centre in Arochukwu, Abia State. The project is estimated to cost about N100million.
Already, arrangements have been concluded for a memorable fundraising scheduled to hold at the Historic Arochukwu Civic Centre.
According to the Club’s National Publicity Secretary, Mr. Chinatu Okoro, top personalities invited to the fundraising have confirmed their availability at the event.
They include top scholars, entrepreneurs, politicians, public servants and traditional rulers among others.
Listed as Special Guests of Honour at the event to be chaired by the President General of Nzuko Aro Worldwide, Mazi George Ezuma, are Senator MAO Ohuabunwa, Honourable Uko Nkole, Sir Victor Ike Okoronkwo, Dr Alex Otti, Sir Chikwe Udensi, Hon. Luke Ukara, among several others.
The AROSON Club House, according to Mr. Chinatu Okoro, is conceived as a top class recreation centre for all Aros and residents of neighbouring communities.
He said the event is planned to coincide with Ikeji Aro, the annual new yam festival period when the crème-d-la-crème of the ancient kingdom of Arochukwu usually converge on their ancestral homeland.
He therefore enjoined all the sons and daughters of Arochukwu who desire a top class recreation centre as being envisioned, to donate generously towards building the edifice.
