World Igbo Congress (WIC) proudly announces an Igbo Leadership Summit in Nigeria.

Having noted that a majority of the special guests from homeland at the 2016 New York Convention made a very strong request that WIC brings one of her annual gatherings to homeland, the Congress resolved to convene a mega Igbo Leadership Summit in Enugu this upcoming Spring. The 2016 New York Convention would not be the first time Igbo stakeholders at homeland would make similar requests that WIC Convention be brought home. The heightened discrimination and wanton marginalization of the Igbo in the current political dispensation in Nigeria avails easy consensus by Congress to convene at Homeland to chart the course of bold remedies for the thorny issues of IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, Igbo unity, Restructuring Nigeria, anti-Igbo agenda of successive governments of Nigeria, among other things.

This summit at Enugu is not a replacement for WIC annual Convention. It rather offers an opportunity to announce and promote the WIC constitutionally mandated annual convention, holding in Chicago IL, 2017 Labor Day weekend.

We hereby express our gratitude to the Governor of Enugu State, His Excellency, Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, (Gburugburu, Ndi Igbo) for graciously accepting to host the Summit, and willingly volunteering to assist in facilitating the event. This Summit is scheduled for April 19, 2017, in Enugu, the historical and political capital of Igbo nation.

Dialogues to build collaborative relationship with Ndi Igbo Lagos and Aka Ikenga for and all-inclusive event that should lead to a record successful summit are underway.

The WIC facilitated Regional Medical Center of Excellence (RMCE) philosophy, vision, rationale, and progress report will be unveiled before the anticipated and unprecedented Igbo assembly.

We guarantee that this will not be a talk show or a jamboree. WIC has drawn the summit agenda, and attendees will listen to actionable, strategic pathways for restoration of Igbo dignity, from the Igbo bests in academia, business community, banking, politics, trade unions, traditional rulers, and students.

A detailed program announcement follows in the next few weeks. Make your travel plans now. This is a home coming moment you do not want to miss.

The popular belief is that a true census of Igbo people on the planet is long overdue. As is well known, Igbo people occupy 100% of all five states of Southeastern Nigeria. The Igbo comprise no less than 60% of Delta and Rivers States in the South-South. There are significant numbers of the Igbo (up to 30%) in Abuja, Lagos, Bayelsia, Benue and Kogi States. In the rest of the 36 states of Nigeria, the Igbo constitutes no less that 15% of the population. Outside Nigeria, the Igbo, now referred to as Diaspora Igbo, make up significant proportions of populations in all continents of the world (Africa, The Americas, Eastern and Western Europe, Russia, Asia, the Pacific Realm etc.). They contribute to the wealth and well-being of their places of abode to the detriment of their homeland which beckons for their attention in the face of hostile and inclement ethno-political environment. Furthermore, the Igbo does not constitute a factor in the budgetary, demographic and political equations where they live just because nobody can say, with any reasonable certainty, the numbers of our people in the Diaspora. Consequently, a true census of the Igbo becomes the number one project for the Igbo Nation of today and tomorrow. Every onye Igbo at home and in the Diaspora needs to give maximum support in time, participation and resources to this project. This census aims to count the entire population of Ndi Igbo in the Diaspora, and at the location where each person usually lives with his family. This will be the fulcrum to enhance and leverage the political and economic standing of the Igbo in the comity of ethnic nationalities in Nigeria and Africa. The census asks questions of people in homes and group living situations, including how many people live or stay in each home, and the sex, age and occupation of each person. The goal is to count everyone once, only once, and in the right place. How the Census Benefits the Igbo Nation (Beginning with Diaspora Igbo) In the Diaspora, government funds, grants and support to states, counties and communities are based on population totals and breakdowns by sex, age, race and other factors. Our community will benefit the most when the census counts everyone. We will be reckoned with on political chessboards which translates to getting our fair share of legislation and development funds spent on schools, hospitals, roads, public works and other vital programs. Businesses, Governments and international concerns will use census data to make decisions on doing business in Igbo that could translate to building factories and this creates jobs. preparedness. Residents use the census to support community initiatives involving legislation, quality-of-life and consumer advocacy. Projections from this census numbers will force accuracy in the numbers of our people in the home land and lead to better planning and development of the Igbo land of our dreams
