He assures that Project NWAFOR Igbo will be in the forefront of every and any activity that would place Igbos on the right part to success.

Possibly, another Global press conference in Abuja the Capital city of Nigeria, to unveil dignitaries who are attending. As we prepare for the Biggest Global launch like never before in history.”
“All Igbo leaders will tour and visit major countries and how the modern city of Las Vegas was built. The Mayor of Las Vegas, the city halls in conjunction with the Chamber of Commerce. We will mirror businesses back home and develop our states. We will create jobs of the future for our youths. We all hope to be here in Las Vegas July 2024 in the United States of America. This time around, we have gotten it right,” he says.
