The President of Agwa Diaspora Forum Worldwide (ADF Worldwide), High Chief Prof. Humphrey Chukwuemeka Ugo, KSC, Ugwumba I of Agwa Clan and Ahaejijemba of Azara Obiato Ancient Kingdom, Mbaitolu Local Government Area of Imo State, has announced the successful registration and incorporation of the association, describing it as a major milestone in the collective pursuit of unity, peace, and sustainable development for Agwa people across the globe.
The disclosure was made available to Inside Agwa News through the President, Prof. Ugo, who commended members of the forum for their unwavering commitment, sacrifices, and shared vision that culminated in the successful accreditation of the organization.
According to the official statement, the association has now been fully registered and incorporated under the name Agwa Diaspora Forum Worldwide (ADF Worldwide) with TID: 2621671301985.
The statement read:
"It gives me great pleasure to notify all and sundry of the full accreditation and incorporation of Agwa Diaspora Forum Worldwide.
Full Registration & Incorporation of Agwa Indigenes in Diaspora.
TID#2621671301985
Trading as Agwa Diaspora Forum Worldwide.
Board of Trustees: High Chief Prof. Humphrey Ugo (KSC) – President General; Dr. Alwell Maduakolam – Secretary General; Dr. Kevin Ihetu – Treasurer.
Legal Adviser/Retainer: Barr. Benson Akunya, Esq.
e-Signed: High Chief Prof. Humphrey Ugo (KSC), President, for Agwa Diaspora Forum Worldwide."
Prof. Ugo described the registration as a victory for every Agwa son and daughter living abroad, stressing that the recognition would strengthen the forum's capacity to mobilize resources, deepen collaboration among members, and partner with stakeholders in advancing meaningful development initiatives for Agwa Clan.
Recall that ADF Worldwide is the umbrella body of Agwa sons and daughters living outside the shores of Nigeria. The association was established following the inauguration of the Agwa Central Union (ACU), the apex socio-cultural body of Agwa Clan, currently led by its President-General, Mr. Nduka Ozor.
Since its formation, the organization, under the pioneer leadership of Prof. Humphrey Chukwuemeka Ugo as President and Dr. Alwell Maduakolam as Secretary General, has contributed significantly to community development through support for education, healthcare, security, peace building, humanitarian interventions, and other developmental programmes aimed at improving the welfare of Agwa people.
Following the announcement, several Agwa indigenes at home and in the diaspora congratulated ADF Worldwide and its leadership on the achievement, describing the incorporation as a landmark accomplishment that would further enhance the credibility and effectiveness of the association.
Many community stakeholders expressed optimism that the official registration would open new opportunities for strategic partnerships, international engagement, fundraising, and coordinated developmental interventions capable of accelerating the socio-economic growth of Agwa Clan.
The congratulatory messages also applauded Prof. Humphrey Ugo, Dr. Alwell Maduakolam, Dr. Kevin Ihetu, Barr. Benson Akunya, Esq., and members of the Board of Trustees for their dedication and selfless service, while urging all Agwa sons and daughters across the world to remain united in supporting the vision of a peaceful, progressive, and prosperous Agwa.
Observers believe the incorporation marks another important chapter in the efforts of Agwa indigenes in the diaspora to complement ongoing development initiatives at home and strengthen the bond between Agwa communities around the world.
