EXCITEMENT AS AROCHUKWU TO THE WORLD PROJECT UNVEILS "AROCHUKWU FOOD AND DRINKS FESTIVAL 2024":
The most anticipated event in 2024 have been unveiled by organizers. The Unveiling ceremony which took place at the prestigious Arochukwu Civic Center was necessary to formerly kickoff activities for the event, address the Press and announce important details to the public.
The buildup of anticipation began last November when the Director General of the Arochukwu To The World Project announced the event on his social media platform and since then, more and more Umu Aro have continued to wait patiently for more information from the organizers; hence the Press conference and unveiling.
Addressing Newsmen at the Press conference, the Director General of the project, Obasi Praise Genesis said the idea was born out of the "Show Arochukwu to the world campaign" which he initiated nearly a decade ago. He said the campaign was important to reposition Arochukwu on the world map and continue to project and promote tourism and her cultural heritage. "It is important to note that Arochukwu plays a vital role in Igbo and Nigerian history and so we must continue to introduce programs that will preserve and promote our rich cultural assets which food of course is a quintessential part of. What we plan to do is to host the world on our food table, stage them to an irresistible culinary showoff and allow them to taste and savor the sweetness of Aro Okeigbo in 2 days.
We shall achieve this by the grace of God because we have assembled the finest brains in the game and they are poised to deliver the best experience" the DG explained to our correspondent.
The press conference also served as an opportunity to reel off activities for the event which included: Cooking Competition, Food exhibition, food tasting, Avia Nkwo Trade fair, cultural displays, sip and paint, Music, Dance, Comedy and lots more.
Some of the partners and sponsors also used the special occasion to announce their support to the project.
On the guest list of attendees were The Special Adviser to Abia State Governor on Internally Generated Revenue, Hon. Chimereze Okeigbo, Mazi Chukwuemeka Maduagwu, Mazi Ike Onu (Ugwu Aro), Capt. Kelechi Okoronkwo, Hon. Nnaemeka Oti, Mr. Roderick Ben, Nnamdi Urim and other dignitaries.
