Igu-Aro Festival 2026: Valentine Ozigbo Receives Ugo Igbo Ji Di Ebube Chieftaincy Title
Valentine Ozigbo was honoured with the Ugo Igbo Ji Di Ebube chieftaincy title at the Igu-Aro Festival held at Nnamdi Azikiwe University’s ASUU Secretariat in Awka. In his keynote address, he explored the philosophical depth of the Igbo lunar calendar and described the festival as a declaration of continuity, identity and a civilisation that has refused to fade. Ozigbo introduced the “Igbo Paradox,” contrasting individual success across the world with the need for stronger collective institutions. He urged attendees to transform enterprise into legacy and ambition into organised power. The event drew traditional rulers, university leaders and community figures who gathered to celebrate Igbo culture and reaffirm the responsibility of younger generations to build lasting impact.
