The UKOMU Igala Organisation has announced plans to raise N500 million through a fundraising dinner aimed at financing major development projects for Igala and Bassa communities.
The fundraising event, scheduled for March 21 in Abuja, is part of broader efforts under the Igala/Bassa Renaissance Project, an initiative designed to mobilise resources and support long-term socio-economic development in the region.
In a statement issued on Saturday and made available to journalists, the organisation said the dinner will hold at the Armed Forces Officers’ Mess, Asokoro, and is expected to attract prominent members of the Igala and Bassa communities, as well as other stakeholders and supporters.
According to the group, the initiative seeks not only to generate funds for critical community interventions but also to strengthen unity and collaboration among the people.
The statement noted that the organisation is optimistic about meeting its N500 million fundraising target, which will be channelled into programmes aimed at advancing development priorities and sustaining the renaissance agenda for the communities.
It added that traditional rulers, professionals, community leaders, and well-meaning Nigerians have been invited to participate in the event and contribute toward the success of the initiative.
The organisers expressed confidence that the fundraiser will serve as a platform to rally collective support for transformative projects that will benefit Igala and Bassa communities in the years ahead.
