The Chairman of the Ndokwa Neku Union (NNU), Abuja Branch, Chief Iduh Kingsley, has pledged to deepen unity, strengthen representation, and expand welfare opportunities for Ndokwa/Ukwani people residing in the Federal Capital Territory following his inauguration for a second tenure in office.
Speaking during his inauguration ceremony in Abuja, Chief Kingsley expressed gratitude to members of the union for renewing their confidence in his leadership, describing the re-election as both an honour and a renewed call to service.
Addressing an audience made up of national executives, branch leaders, elders, patrons, youth representatives, women groups, and members of the Ndokwa/Ukwani community, the chairman reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to building a stronger and more inclusive union.
“The first term was about laying the foundation — strengthening unity among our people in Abuja, upholding our culture, and making our branch a voice that reflects the dignity of Ndokwa/Ukwani,” he stated.
The inauguration ceremony attracted notable stakeholders within the Ndokwa/Ukwani ethnic nationality who gathered to witness what many described as the beginning of a consolidation phase for the Abuja branch of the union.
Chief Kingsley noted that his second tenure would focus on consolidation, impact-driven leadership, and sustained advocacy for the interests of Ndokwa people in Abuja and beyond.
He unveiled a four-point agenda aimed at repositioning the branch and increasing its relevance among members and within the broader national space.
According to him, unity and inclusion would remain a major priority of his administration.
“No clan, no village, no family will be left behind. We are one people,” he declared.
He further emphasized the strategic importance of Abuja as Nigeria’s political capital, stressing the need for stronger engagement and visibility for the Ndokwa/Ukwani people at the national level.
Chief Kingsley disclosed that his administration would work closely with the President General and the national leadership of the union to advance the Ndokwa agenda through sustained advocacy and collaboration.
On welfare and empowerment, the chairman promised to prioritize the interests of members through initiatives that would promote capacity building, support systems, and opportunities for personal and professional growth.
He also pledged to sustain the branch’s Townhall meetings and Ndokwa Day celebrations, describing them as important platforms that have continued to strengthen cultural identity, promote unity, and foster community development among Ndokwa/Ukwani indigenes living in Abuja.
The chairman called on members of the union to remain disciplined, committed, and united in support of the administration’s vision.
“My executive team and I pledge to lead with transparency, humility, and service,” he assured.
Chief Kingsley also appreciated the President General and members of the national body for their support and guidance, pledging the Abuja branch’s loyalty and cooperation toward the overall advancement of the union.
The event was marked by goodwill messages, cultural solidarity, and renewed optimism among members who expressed confidence in the leadership’s ability to further strengthen the Ndokwa/Ukwani community in the nation’s capital.
The Ndokwa Neku Union remains a foremost socio-cultural organization dedicated to promoting the unity, welfare, culture, and collective interests of the Ndokwa/Ukwani people across Nigeria and in the diaspora.
